Los Angeles - join Hazel Blue Studios (3058 ½ Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039) for a night of healing, movement and awareness. Enjoy various modalities and yoga while contributing to bringing mind­ful­ness and restora­tive jus­tice to those in need. This event sup­ports the work of James Fox. Many of those who are serv­ing prison/jail sen­tences are highly trau­ma­tized indi­vid­u­als suf­fer­ing from addic­tion, poor impulse con­trol, and repeat­ing the cycle of vio­lence and vic­tim­iza­tion. Through Yoga and med­i­ta­tion, stud­ies have shown a decrease in aggres­sive behav­iors and an increase in con­fi­dence and account­abil­ity for one’s actions. As James Fox points out "Upon release from prison, what kind of person do you want returning to your community?" Tickets are available now for $30 online http://prisonyogaproject-es2.eventbrite.com/?rank=1# or $35 at the time of the event.
