We’re deeply grateful to the Young Leaders Fund at The Chicago Community Trust for awarding us a grant that strengthens our work at the intersection of healing, justice, and community care. Their investment helps us expand access to trauma-informed yoga for individuals navigating the criminal legal system. Thank you, @youngleadersfund at @thechicagocommunitytrust, for recognizing the importance of wellness and equity in spaces too often defined by harm. Your support helps us continue sustaining restorative, human-centered approaches to justice—grounded in healing, humanity, and care for those most impacted. #knowthetruth #speakthetruth #bethetruth #prisonyogachicago #traumainformedyoga #prisonyoga #yoga #youngleadersfund #chicagocommunitytrust #gratitude #restorativejustice #communityhealing #wellnessbehindwalls #healingjustice (fb)

Service is a powerful form of solidarity. We’re thrilled to welcome our newest cohort of volunteer yoga teachers to Prison Yoga Chicago ✨ Each of these dedicated individuals has completed our trauma-informed yoga training, deepening their commitment to supporting individuals impacted by the criminal legal system. Through breath work, mindfulness, and intention-setting, they’ll offer tools that nurture healing, resilience, and agency—on and off the mat. A heartfelt thank you to the studios that made this training possible by generously opening their doors to us: Zen Yoga Garage and The Apartment—your support held the space for connection, learning, and community. Together, we’re moving toward a more just and healing future. To know the truth is to see the humanity in every person. To speak the truth is to challenge the systems that stand in the way of healing. To be the truth is to show up—fully, compassionately, and consistently. #knowthetruth #speakthetruth #bethetruth #prisonyogachicago #traumainformedyoga #volunteeryoga #yoga #communityhealing #wellnessbehindwalls #restorativepractices #gratitude #prisonyoga #volunteerism (fb)
