Yoga for inmates

There's yoga for pregnant women, yoga for golfers, yoga for runners, yoga for cancer patients -- I guess it was only a matter of time before the fitness phenomenon entered the judicial system. Some prisons are now offering yoga class to inmates, and I think it's a fabulous idea. Yoga isn't just for the body -- it's for the mind too. I can't speak for everyone, but for me, it calms my mind and helps me gain a fresh perspective on things. It's also based on the principals of peace and karma, which I think can benefit inmates trying to get their life back together.

The program has been a hit among inmates already, and I hope it continues to grow -- it would be great to see yoga offered in all prisons. What do you think?
