Urban Yogis offer a unique programme to support young people and adults in prison. Our team is trained through the Prison Yoga Project and delivers trauma informed yoga interventions. We work closely with the establishments to support young people with resettlement back into the community when they leave prison. Outcomes:
- Create space to talk openly about emotions and barriers
- Offer pathways for when the person leaves prison
- Support people to develop self-pratice
- Create new experiences for young people
- Intensive 1:1 and group work during the trips
We offer a bespoke mentoring service which is aimed at supporting young people with an emphasis on mental health. Our youth workers are all qualified yoga teachers so many of the yoga practices like mindfulness and meditation are taught to the young people during their mentoring sessions so they’re able to use these tools when they’re in need. Our youth workers support young people within homelife, community and school during times that suit them. Our team delivers educational mentoring sessions around key topics such as healthy relationships, consequential thinking, online safety, exploitation/crime, behaviour change, emotional regulation and more.
