Incarceration, including the pre- and post-confinement periods, is devastating for the physical, emotional and spiritual health - of any human being. Many prisoners already suffer from chronic diseases, such as HIV-infection, diabetes and hypertension on entry. It is estimated that one in five incarcerated persons is also afflicted with a major psychiatric illness. Many suffer from substance abuse and violent behavior. These inmates often find that the prison health system is suboptimal for their continuing treatment. Life behind bars is further detrimental to health due to a host of unchangeable and insurmountable negative factors, pervasive in the prison system. As such, even 'healthy' individuals realize that their health has worsened during their incarceration. Following community reentry, the barriers to adequate medical care are significant. In many cases they are worse - and include lack of health insurance, long waiting time at clinics and inability to afford prescription medicines. Poverty, poor diet, supervised release restrictions, emotional disturbances related to family and friends, social isolation, inability to reestablish lost business and a host of other demanding factors become further impediments. The result is continuing worsening of the physical and mental health in this population - despite being released from prison and now considered 'free'. It is therefore not surprising that former prisoners are at a 12-fold increased risk of death - in the 2-week period following release. Knowledge of the yogic view of life and adopting a simple routine of yogic exercises - postures (asanas), breath control (prayanama), and meditation (dhyana), can help halt and even reverse, insults suffered by the physical body, mind and soul - during and post incarceration. This book presents a simple one-hour yoga exercise program, that can be easily done while incarcerated, even within an inmate's cell - at any time and without any special equipment. It will help the prisoner prevent and control the 'ravages of prison ill-health' - while incarcerated. Besides an improved physical health, yoga practice will also help inmates reduce their cravings for addictive substances and decrease their propensity for violence. They will improve their emotional maturity and become more spiritually enlightened. Overall, they will be better able to cope with, what often manifests as, an even harsher world - following release.

Bound to be Free: The Liberating Power of Prison Yoga illustrates how yoga can be and is being used in prisons as a powerful method of prisoner reform and rehabilitation. The book is grounded in the Integral Yoga teachings of Sri Swami Satchidananda, who was a renowned yoga master, a spiritual guide to thousands of people worldwide, and one of the first yoga teachers to bring the timeless teachings of yoga into U.S. prisons. Through talks that Swami Satchidananda gave in several prisons, from interviews with other yoga teachers who have taught and are teaching in prisons, with a look at some highly successful prison yoga programs that are being carried out in the United States and abroad, and with personal stories of prisoners whose study and practice of yoga has brought peace and self-transformation, Bound to be Free offers a wide-ranging view of the benefits of yoga to incarcerated populations and demonstrates how those benefits impact society in general.

"Yoga and meditation in the Modular Building," and again, "Yoga and meditation in the Modular Building." I teach yoga in the prisons. Imagine walking into "the yard," and here comes one of these tough-looking people who says "Namaskar," and makes the prayerful gesture of touching his forehead and heart. The first time it happened, I was very surprised, and was brought to full presence of the here and now. I still experience this feeling of presence, although the surprise has left me. Now it just feels good! This book grew out of the yoga classes I teach at Wake Correctional Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. The class includes hatha yoga asanas. This book has a range of yoga basics, meditation and attention and awareness practices suitable for any beginning yoga class.

Yoga generally consists of low intensity flowing exercise with periods of mindfulness and meditation to help calm the yoga practitioner mentally as well as physically. Yoga originated in India, but contemporary Yoga practice draws from many schools of thought such as Jainism, Buddhism, and other assorted schools of Indian Philosophy (Ashok, 2016). Research suggests that yoga can be beneficial in a myriad of ways such as reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety as well as in lowering stress (Chong et al., 2011; Riley et al., 2014). Research also suggests that prison environments are among the most stressful (Berzofsk & Bronson, 2017). In recent years there has been a movement to introduce yoga to prisons to help inmates cope with the stress and effects of incarceration in the form of the Prison Yoga Project.

This moving book provides an inside-view of life in prison, and people's remarkable ability to make sense of their lives there as they learn to meditate. Drawing on years of intimate correspondence between prisoners and charity workers of the Prison Phoenix Trust, it traces prisoners' struggles through the harshest of circumstances to find authenticity, friendship and hope. This is not only an empowering guide for those in prison, but a testament to the liberating power of peace, which, in spite of all obstacles, can be unlocked within us all.
