HoW IT ALL STARTED

Established in 2022, founder Hannah Flahr created a yoga program for firefighters after being personally stood up by a little black pager.

On a rainy November night Hannah bore witness to a conundrum that many volunteer firefighters fall prey to. Her partner chose to stay home with the pager on, volume up instead of attending a 60 minute yoga class with her. It was in that awkward moment of hesitation that she made a decision. She was going to design a yoga class and call it Pagers & Poses. She would invite firefighters and they could join with their pagers on, volume up.

Flash forward to 2024, RTR has served over 120 firefighters from over 12 different fire departments. The Pagers & Poses classes has been validated through research partnerships with Camosun College and lululemon.

At RTR we strive to establish trust through meaningful connection. Our mission is to educate and empower community champions to lead well-being experiences to first responders, families and community allies. It is our mission to remain relevant and lead impactful sessions to promote health and prevent mental and physical injury.
