What if prison helped heal people?

James Fox, the founder of the Prison Yoga Project, and European Program Director Josefin Wikstrom, will visit the North Shore to share their holistic approach to transformation in prisons worldwide. Their nonprofit has pioneered evidence-based, trauma-informed yoga and embodied mindfulness practices to equip incarcerated people with tools for self-regulation, self-discovery, and personal growth. Lindsey Athanasiou, Rowley resident, serves on Prison Yoga Project’s board and will proudly open the presentation.

The Prison Yoga Project’s slogan is “Healing over punishment,” and their team facilitates programs in correctional facilities across 20 states and in 12 countries, positively impacting the lives of thousands of incarcerated men, women, and youth.
