Bringing yoga onto military bases

Give Back Yoga approved a project by yoga teacher Robin Carnes to provide bi-weekly yoga and iRest yoga nidra classes to a population of over 800 service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with combat related stress and their families while in treatment at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC.

Give Back Yoga and The Prison Yoga Project (http://prisonyoga.com) announce publication of a new booklet called “Yoga: A Path for Healing and Recovery” by James Fox.

The book is now available to prisoners across the country at no charge. However, after an announcement about the book appeared in a national newsletter for prisoners last month, we received an unexpected and overwhelming response which has depleted the first printing. For that reason The Give Back Yoga Foundation is seeking donations to reprint the book and fulfill the hundreds of weekly requests from prisoners that are currently being received. Based on ten years of direct experience teaching yoga to incarcerated youth and adults, this do-it-yourself book of yoga and meditation practices is particularly suited to the circumstances of incarcerated offenders who wish to change their approach to life. All of the artwork in the book has been done by prisoners who have participated in the PYP’s program at San Quentin.

For a minimum of a $20 donation you will receive the book, “Yoga A Path for Healing and Recovery,” by the Prison Yoga Project, and provide 2 books for prisoners free-of-charge.

For a minimum of a $50 donation you will receive the book, “Yoga A Path for Healing and Recovery,” and provide 6 books for prisoners free-of-charge.

Any amount donated would be much appreciated and used to send books to prisoners.

Please send your donation made payable to:
