By now, we’ve all read about the benefits of teaching yoga to children.  And despite the ongoing separation-of-church-and-state debate,  some schools do offer yoga classes to their students.

Another group finding the benefits of yoga are prison inmates.  I ran across  this is a beautiful piece about Gino Sevacos, an inmate in San Quentin State Prison, who practices yoga five times a week in his cell.  Check out the interview with Gino on Elephant Journal : http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/02/goal-of-life/.
