Safe, Effective and Healing: the Kind of
Yoga and Meditation that Works in Prison

After a brief introduction to the work of the Prison Phoenix Trust, a yoga and meditation session taught as if in prison will expose participants to the principles of practice and teaching that prisoners and prison officers find healing, helpful and non-threatening. The session will help you appreciate the particular and diverse needs of prisoner students; understand the difference between a prison class and gym or village hall class; and practice silent breath-based meditation.

The journey inside out
Friday 7:15pm- 8:45pm
Le, M, Q&A
All Yoga teaching and philosophy guides us
towards a spiritual journey inwards; a journey of introspection and
self-evaluation which peels away our many layers until we reach a point of
purity, the true Self. But the journey shouldn’t end there. We exist as part of
a bigger system, we are part of the Universe so we need to radiate and extend
our inner health and well-being towards our external environment too. True
well-being comes when we are at one with our family, society, environment and
the Universe, but how do we achieve this when we are constantly comprised by
our inner fears and material distractions.
Satsih will give talk and lead a meditative
practice

The connectivity of wellness
Saturday 2.15pm - 3.30pm
Le, Q&A
Many people are fixated by sport and
fitness as an antidote to increasing stressful lives. Whilst this is rooted in
a need to be healthy and an attempt to take ownership of their well-being, it
remains a somewhat egocentric outlook. True well-being, that is spiritual well-
being comes from a deeper commitment not just to oneself but
to the Earth. The seeds for our spiritual renewal are at the centre of being and we can use Yoga to journey inwards to find these seeds, but then have to nurture them to spread that sense of well-being into our wider, community, society and beyond.

Using Exercise Balls to Stimulate
Pratyaksha (direct perception) of Apana in Asana
A, PR, Di, D, O, Ph.
This session utilizes small exercise balls to highlight direct perception (Pratyaksha) of Apana within Asana. By harvesting the Apana we can transform that which we unwittingly allow to drag us down into that which uplifts us. Proprioception increases as shy or lazy muscles are encouraged into pulling their weight. Through working with the balls in a wide variety of asanas - standing, supine, prone and twisted – Mula Bandha is stimulated, muscles are recalibrated and Prana is concentrated. This is a fun session with relaxation at the end.
