Hey everyone,
Dan and I are playing a benefit show for the Prison Yoga Project this Friday, 12/2, at Sacred yoga studio in Bedstuy - please support ;-)

Why Prison Yoga?
Yoga changes lives both in and out of prison. Right now 2.25 million US men and women, 1 in 100 adults, are in prison. 7.3 million, 1 in 31 adults, are under some sort of correctional supervision. Most of them will return to their, and our, communities post-incarceration. You can learn more about the Prison Yoga Project here...www.prisonyoga.com

I completed the Prison Yoga Teacher Training earlier this year and I am one of 20+ teachers in NYC trained and ready to bring yoga into prisons in New York. Our goal is to raise $3000 and it’s easy (and fun) to help. Here’s how:

1. BUY YOUR TICKET HERE...http://prisonyoga.eventbrite.com/
