Our programsShifting from Punitive Justice to Compassion-Based Approaches
At Prison Yoga Project, we’ve developed a holistic approach to rehabilitation and transformation within the criminal justice system. Our programs are grounded in evidence-based trauma-informed yoga and embodied mindfulness practices, equipping individuals with the essential tools for self-regulation, self-discovery, and personal growth.

It’s time we emphasize healing over punishment
Our mission goes beyond rehabilitation. We advocate for a transformative shift in our culture, from punitive judgement to compassion-based approaches. By investing in healing over punishment, we strive to change society’s perspective on the root causes of harm, addressing issues at their source and breaking the cycles that perpetuate suffering.
