Who We Are

Since 2008, we have shared trauma-informed yoga and meditation with our community behind and beyond bars to support individual healing and a more just society for all.

Our Values

LIBERATION

We provide somatic practices for our community to experience freedom in their bodies and minds that cannot be taken from them by anyone, including the state.

HUMANITY

We are committed to honoring each other’s humanity, even during times of conflict and uncertainty.

LOVE

We embrace a love ethic by utilizing the multiple dimensions of love – care, commitment, trust, responsibility, and knowledge (from All About Love by bell hooks).

COMMUNITY

We take responsibility for our own physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs so that we can practice community care.

GROWTH

We embody a growth mindset through a culture of learning.

SYSTEM DISRUPTION

We recognize the harmful, exploitative, and intergenerational effects of oppressive systems. We question and explore our role within these systems, and work to elevate the voices of our incarcerated and liberated community members.

JOY

We embrace joy, play, and pleasure whenever possible.
