FRY Mind-Body Wellness Retreat

FRY Canada is a toolbox for First Responder Agility, Fitness, Mental Health, Resilience & Mind-Body Wellness.While rooted in yoga, FRY the Method has evolved, expanded and modernized to also include mindfulness for strong teams, tips to calm the nervous system, and yoga with weights. Each FRY the Method session includes mindfulness, functional movement including strength and deep-tissue stretching, breathwork, envisioning techniques, positive affirmations, relaxation and meditation skills, according to neuroscience discoveries.Our best-selling self-help book "F.R.Y. First Responder Yoga. The Book" launched on Amazon in 2021, which researched and linked First Responders’ physical and mental injuries to tools to prevent and assist with those injuries. The pandemic influenced us to digitize the tools identified in the book into FRY the APP, available anytime, anywhere, at the push of a button, with no geographical limitation. All First Responders and other trauma-exposed professions all have a smart phone, right? FRY the APP, is available for Apple and Android.FRY Canada offers streamed classes through FRY the APP, in-person in workplaces, and speaks on its expertise at various meetings, events, conferences and symposiums.Our Goal: Get the tools into the hands of First Responders/Front Liners and their families to help with mental and physical resilience, strength and overall wellness."Giving Back to Those Who Serve"Download FRY The APPHEREBuy the best-selling self-help book for trauma-exposed professions “F.R.Y.
