Yoga in the Shadows

“Yoga in the Shadows” will examine the role that Yoga is playing in the personal recovery of individuals who life stories have led them to jails and prisons, low-income and homeless shelters, teen centers, domestic violence shelters and drug and alcohol recovery centers.

Patterns of poverty and abuse, addiction and desperation, helplessness and hopelessness emerge. Some individuals live incarcerated in literal prisons doing time for past deeds committed, while others live in figurative prisons created by addiction and abuse. Tools exist with which individuals may regain a measure of self-control over their lives and bodies. One such tool is Yoga.
