As many of you know, yoga is part of the fabric of my life. I do it, I teach it, I learn about it. The Prison Phoenix Trust supports prisoners in their spiritual lives through meditation, yoga, silence and the breath. When I went for a day to learn about their work last year I was very moved by what they do and the people involved in the Trust. I receive a newsletter several times a year.
I was really struck by one prisoner's letter. He uses his breath as the lynch pin for meditation. What he wrote is simple, true and very, very wise.
"In spite of there being a multitude or hundreds of beliefs/religions in the world today, most people want peace without war and good health without loss, hurt or pain. Well-being, peace, is what we all would like, not material items."
