The first yoga class at the Century Regional Detention Facility took place earlier this month as part of the Forensic In-Patient (FIP) Stepdown program. Instructors are volunteers through Prison Yoga and Meditation; a volunteer organization that brings yoga and meditation to inmates in various correctional facilities throughout the state. The benefits of yoga and meditation are widely acknowledged, and the founder of Prison Yoga and Meditation indicated he was very enthusiastic to provide the services. The participants were eager to join, and this will likely be something to look forward to. The goal is to provide weekly classes on Saturdays once all the volunteers have completed their clearances.
