Joe Froehlich spent 32 years in law enforcement, holding positions in patrol and major crime and was a canine handler, tactical team member, and eventually an administrator. Joe also served as Director of Law Enforcement Services for the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic violence. He is recognized by the federal Office on Violence Against Women to train law enforcement and domestic violence advocates across the country in the area of response to and prevention of domestic violence. In 2012 Joe discovered that yoga was so much more than just a good stretch. He found yoga to be a great relief from the stressors that face law enforcement officers. It also provided the same focus he learned when he earned his black belt in Ju-Jitsu many years ago. Joe completed his 200-hour yoga teaching certificate at Nadi Om Wellness in Ocala, FL. He is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance and a member of Veterans Yoga Project Teachers Alliance. Joe has additional certifications in Chair Yoga and Yin Yoga. He enjoys a variety of different practices from a gentle practice to a challenging practice designed to energize the body while relaxing the mind.
