As we collectively confront racism and policing in America, we also have to confront the fact that the criminal legal system has become a catch-all for societal issues like addiction, mental health problems, poverty, and oppression.

Yoga Behind Bars invites you to join us for a panel discussion about why healing matters for successful reentry. Everyone on the panel has experienced incarceration at some point in their lives, so you will have the opportunity to hear firsthand how wellness tools such as yoga, meditation, and mental health tools have helped them begin to heal from trauma. You will also hear about the amazing work they are doing in the community to reform the criminal legal system.

About Yoga Behind Bars: We share yoga and meditation with incarcerated people to promote rehabilitation, personal transformation, and a more just society for all. Since 2008, YBB has equipped thousands of incarcerated youth and adults with practical, restorative tools to change their lives from the inside out.

Our specialized trauma-informed yoga model offers accessible embodiment practices that encourage participants to reclaim their agency through choice, inclusion, and nervous-system regulation. Rather than merely addressing emotional and physical symptoms of trauma, our classes focus on well-being, possibility, and choice.
