I'll be rolling out the new 'Yoga and Mindfulness Immersion' workbook with both classes I teach at San Quentin next week!
The Monday LGBTQ+ class and the Thursday General Population class (there are between 12-15 folks in each class) are so eager to dive in and have more concrete practices and even homework they can engage with in order to embody the role of yoga and mindfulness in helping regulate their nervous systems.
The Prison Yoga Project National team has been working hard in drafting this workbook and I cannot wait to digest it all with those I get the honor of introducing it to at San Quentin over the next 6 months.
Though the PYP folks have managed to secure some grant funding to pay us a basic pay as facilitators, I am certainly still seeking to supplement that base with earnings from my Patreon to support doing this work in this wildly expensive place I have chosen to create a life within.
Please consider subscribing to become a Patreon to support me being able to sustainably offer yoga and mindfulness to incarcerated people at San Quentin. You'll received pre-recorded yoga classes with yours truly that you can practice with throughout the month in exchange for your patronage. Talk about a double win!
