Testimonials

• "I love the yoga, live for it! When I first started yoga I didn’t really know much about it and thought it was just a lot of stretching, but when I started you guys blew my mind. It helped me to feel good mentally and made me feel more able to deal with things, you all have taught me so much." - Carver STEAM Academy Participant
• “My experience is amazing. I've never felt so good in my life. Being incarcerated is a condition where a lot of things go through your mind. Stress builds on your mental and you try to control things that you know you can't control. Yoga is a program that takes you away from all of that. You just focus on your body.” - Burruss Correctional Training Facility Participant
• “This program has been a magnificent experience for me mentally, physically, and most importantly spiritually. It has tremendously opened up my self awareness which I believe would have remained stagnant if I had not been willing to practice yoga. I look forward to participating in yoga class every week.” - Metro Reentry Facility Participant
• "In my culture, self care is nonexistent. No one believes in self care and if you do then you're considered weak. But I feel like yoga & other programs with RWN & DP are really helping a lot of people to open up their minds about how to take care of ourselves without being judged." - Refugee Women's Network participant
• "It has been life-changing for me. I feel stronger and more balanced. I am absolutely loving the weekly program, and wish you could come every day." - Decatur Housing Authority
