Starting on Challenging Ground
In the post Katrina facilities currently in New Orleans Parish Prison, The Art of Living offered it’s PRISON SMART program only to inmates of tent number seven to keep it manageable.
Participants taking the course
The course was held over a seven day period where inmates participated in group discussions, yoga, and meditation. The participants had homework between the sessions, and completed not only the assignment, but sometimes more than what was asked for. All the participants practiced the breathing techniques with very positive and visible results.
