Takeaways From Our First 2 RJY Sharing Circles
So many of us have self-talk that limits us and hearing stories from others made me feel like I wasn’t the only one who has had issues with accessibility.
Hi, I volunteer with the Siddha Yoga Prison Meditation Project. We often get requests for hatha yoga material. This material is rarely donated to us, however. Would you have any materials we could send to our students who want to begin practicing hatha yoga? Many thanks, Sharon Lee
Hi Sharon! What do you mean by material? We don’t teach hatha yoga specifically, and instead focus on a hybrid trauma-informed style, so I’m not sure we can help, but please let us know what you’re referring to! You can always reach out by email to emily (at) yogabehindbars.org
