JMS #130 - Yoga: Behind Bars and Beyond w/ Chris List & Faraji Bhakti

Over time, yoga's movement and meditation practices have seamlessly woven into various facets of our lives, from personal routines to corporate seminars and even prison programs. In this episode, we're joined by Chris and Faraji from Yoga Behind Bars. In this conversation they share insights into the implementation and transformation of their program, both before and after the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. From encountering resistance within correctional facilities to witnessing firsthand the positive changes in incarcerated individuals, Chris and Faraji provide a compelling narrative of the program's journey. Faraji sheds light on the significance of the Black Prisoners Caucus, highlighting its role in empowering both incarcerated individuals and members of the community beyond prison walls. In a system where incarceration often strips away one's sense of humanity, initiatives like Yoga Behind Bars offer a beacon of hope, fostering human connection and paving the way for redemption and reintegration into society. Join us as we explore how these humanizing and community-centered practices can offer a path to healing and renewal, reminding us that no one is beyond redemption, and we are all need connection to self and to our community.
