Coimbatore: In a single month, Isha Yoga taught Yoga to almost 2,000 prisoners in 73 jails across Tamil Nadu.
In April, special yoga classes were held in prisons throughout the state, including central jails in Chennai, Coimbatore, Trichy, Madurai, Palayamkottai, and other districts and sub-jails. Both male and female prisoners enthusiastically participated in these classes.
Yoga teachers trained by Sadhguru visited the prisons and taught the inmates different Yoga practices, including- Uyir Nokkam, Upa Yoga, and Surya Shakti. Uyir Nokkam is a simple yet powerful yogic practice to make body, mind, emotions, energies, and the five elements within us, function for our well-being.
Upa Yoga which essentially means “sub-yoga” or “pre-yoga” offers a powerful set of 10 practices that activates the joints, muscles, and energy system, bringing ease to the whole system. Surya Shakti, an active form of Sun Salutation, cultivates great physical fitness and strength.
In India, prisoners report high levels of stress and other health issues. Recognising this, Isha has spent the last few years teaching unique yoga classes in prisons to promote the physical and emotional health of the inmates.
