Current Initiatives
Freedom Within
Our 12-week, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program is designed specifically for women and trans women in prisons, offering a unique opportunity for personal growth and empowerment. This Yoga Alliance-certified program combines foundational yoga practices with trauma-informed teaching, enabling participants to develop their own practice while learning how to share it with others. Through this training, participants will explore mindfulness, self-compassion, and the transformative power of yoga, fostering a sense of community and support. Our goal is to equip individuals with the skills and confidence needed to become certified yoga instructors, promoting healing within the prison system and beyond.
Meditation Broadcast in Prison
We are thrilled to announce that our guided meditation sessions are now featured on the Wellness Channel, reaching 48,000 televisions inside prisons. This initiative aims to provide individuals impacted by incarceration with accessible resources for relaxation, mindfulness, and emotional healing. Meditation offers numerous benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration, and enhancing emotional resilience. By incorporating guided meditation into their daily lives, participants can cultivate inner peace and greater self-awareness, fostering personal growth and connection. We believe everyone deserves access to wellness practices, making this partnership a vital step in promoting healing and transformation within the prison system.
Heart Center App
We offer 3 to 4 live guided meditations tailored for individuals inside prisons and CDCR officers. These sessions aim to promote relaxation, mindfulness, and emotional well-being for all participants. Recently, the Director of Rehabilitation, who oversees all programming within California prisons, expressed strong support for our initiative, stating it aligns perfectly with "The California Model." The Director recognizes the app's potential benefits for both incarcerated individuals and correctional officers, emphasizing the importance of mental wellness in fostering a more compassionate and rehabilitative environment. By providing these resources, we strive to enhance the overall well-being of those affected by the prison system.
