Mission

Our mission is to bring yoga and mindfulness into prisons worldwide.

What We Do

Prison Yoga Project was founded with the goal of healing addictions, developing emotional literacy, promoting conflict resolution and violence prevention.
Mission
The goal of the Prison Yoga Project is to expand the practice of Hatha Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation to prisons and rehabilitation facilities, and to provide training for Yoga instructors interested in teaching to at-risk populations in prisons, residential rehabilitation facilities, and community programs.

We believe in restorative justice. Prison Yoga Project provides a cost-effective method of improving prisoner health and behavior. We believe in addressing the damage done and providing tools for self rehabilitation. We’ve helped thousands of prisoners by instilling self-control and fostering accountability. While they’re ‘doing the time,’ we focus on violence prevention, impulse control, mood disorders, depression, despair, addiction and PTSD.
