I began searching the internet for others who were trying to bring yoga to the incarcerated. And the western conception of yoga as a “workout” definitely didn’t help matters. I was told that there was simply no place for yoga, no category to put me in. I soon learned that all volunteer services are through religious channels or 12 step recovery groups.

I began calling the area prisons and no one was interested in me teaching yoga to the inmates, or to the “offenders”, the moniker they are saddled with once convicted. I happened to have a dear friend who brought yoga to Garner Betts, and over dinner one night, he said “You know Jim, you have to get to these kids early before they are lost forever…” That statement broke my heart.

but NO ONE wants to help those already incarcerated, those that may never be free because of the crimes they committed. After surveying different groups that had little to no access to yoga, I noticed that many people want to help troubled youths, first time felons, the homeless, veterans, etc. I had so many friends and acquaintances that needed access to yoga who found a regular yoga practice to be cost prohibitive, so I decided to teach yoga for free. After falling in love with yoga, I enrolled in Dharma Yoga’s teacher training to deepen my practice.
