Yoga Teachers
Prisoners write to us each week with high praise for their yoga teachers.
Sleeping better, looser joints, less medication, improved relationships with their loved ones – they say all of these happen because of their prison yoga classes. Almost all teachers say that their favourite class to teach is the one in prison, and that it teaches them so much about themselves.
We are always looking for motivated teachers to work in this unique arena.
The yoga lessons I have started here are helping me to calm my mind down.
I used to be so moody and angry and the things I used to dwell upon and hold onto don't cause me to resent anyone or anything any more.
It's only the gift of meditation and breath that has made me see that I couldn't progress until I let go completely of all the anger from within me.
