Yoga Programs for People in Custody and Community Corrections
Our trauma-informed, mindfulness-based yoga programs support rehabilitation and personal growth for people in custody or community corrections.
Through body movement, breathwork, and meditation, participants learn tools for:
Stress management and emotional regulation
Relaxation, mindfulness, and self-awareness
Self-soothing and impulse control
Anger management and addiction recovery
These skills help create calmer, safer correctional environments, while promoting personal development, resilience, and pro-social behaviours to support successful reintegration into the community.
