I can’t make it to any of your trainings, but I’m interested in learning trauma-informed teaching.
Check out our online training platform: YBB Online! We have our entire trauma-informed training available, as well as stand-alone modules. We even have a module called “How to Start a Prison Yoga Program.”

Alternatively, if you or someone you know would like to host a YBB’s Trauma-Informed Yoga Training in your area, please contact our Program Director, Jess, for more information.

How do I find out if there’s a prison yoga program in my area?
YBB only operates in WA state. To find out if there is a program already in your area, try using your favorite search engine to search the name of your city along with what you’re looking to do (such as “prison yoga”). YBB does not maintain a complete list of these programs, nor are we affiliated with any other programs.

I’m a college or high school student, and I would love even more information for a paper I am writing!
As a small grassroots organization, we often don’t have time to connect with students in a deep way about our work. You can find more about our history, programs, success, students, and philosophies by looking at our About, Impact, History & Milestones, and our News pages.

I work for a media outlet and would love to produce a piece about YBB.
Please send us an email. We do not work with media outlets that disclose our students’ crimes to the public without their consent.
