Expanding OutreachHELP US BRING YOGA TEACHER TRAINING to
340 Prisons throughout the USA! We are partnering with Edovo Foundation to bring our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training program to over 341 facilities in the US. Adults in custody will have access to our entire 200hr Yoga Teacher Training online curriculum, our Trauma-Informed, Brain-Sensitive (TIBS) Yoga Training, and our Prison Yoga Dharma Library. You can help us make this possible with a generous donation today. We have a Matching Grant for this project. Your donation will be matched up to $10,000. |
Beginning in the Spring of 2015, we celebrated in March of 2016 as we graduated our first cohort of students at Oregon State Correctional Institution (OSCI). Our program was the first in the nation to successfully complete a Yoga-Alliance yoga teacher training in a prison. The 12 teachers on the inside are currently leading classes within the prison for which we offer ongoing support. Weekly, our volunteers on the outside offer feedback and support to our OSCI teachers.
In 2019, we began the 200-hr training at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, Oregon's women's prison. Our trainees, women in custody with commitments to yoga and service, will become yoga teachers for their inside community in the Behavioral Health Units. |
