SECTION IV: EXECUTIVESUMMARY

Project Name: _P.E.A.C.E. Jail Yoga Project

Please provide a short description of the proposed project/program:

The mission of the project is to Promote Empathy, Accountability, Connection, & Empowerment while -

addressing the prevalence of underlying unresolved trauma amongst community members involved in the
criminal justice system. The P.E.A.C.E. Jail Yoga Project increases access to social support by providing a
10-week peer support yoga program to inmates at the Peace River Correctional Centre. With increased access
to support for healing and rehabilitation prior to release, participants are more likely to have the inter/intra-
personal skills required to integrate back into society and become active members of the community upon
release. The tools and resources offered throughout the program are paramount for preventing re-offence and
healing the larger culture. Based on a trauma informed model- this prevention-basedprogram meets all the
required outcomes as outlined in the application guide.

1')a reduction in aggression and reactivity by strengthening coping and crisis intervention skills.
ii) education on secure attachment and the impacts of trauma to develop a deeper awareness of social needs.
iii) a felt sense of safety and connection by fostering interpersonaland group skills.
iv) the cultivation of empathy, and a greater sense of agency for one’s self leading to an increased sense of
personal accountability and responsibility.
v) consistency and a safe space that supports healing increases the likelihood of sustained change.

[Theevidence of need for this project has beendetermined our
byinquiry participants existing
Healthy Relationshipsprogram, delivered weekly at PRCC- which includes one hour of yoga- bi-weekly.
Written session feedbacks often‘express appreciationfor yoga and requests for additional resources like books
and handouts. “It helped me feel relaxed”, one participant states, suggesting that we should record an audio
class so he can practice more often.

It is estimated that over 75 percent of the Canadian prison population carries unresolved trauma often rooted
-

in adverse childhood experiences. Trauma is a loss of choice that completely overwhelms a person’s ability
to cope or handle the ideas and emotions involved in the experience. Symptoms often impact every aspect of
an individual’s life and include social and behavioral problems, mental health challenges, neuropsychological ,

alteration, impaired physical health, and relationship difficulties.

There is a growing body of research that points to the efficacy of body-based practices in the healing of
trauma. Researchers at Oxford University (2013) found that prisoners who participated in a 10-week yoga
course reported improved mood, reduced stress and were better at a task related to behavior control than those
who continued their normal prison routine.

Another study conducted by Sfendla et al. (2018) concludes that yoga as a fonn of physical activity is
effective for reducing psychological distress levels in prison inmates, with speci?c effect on symptoms such
as suspicious and fearful thoughts about losing autonomy, memory problems, difficulty in making decisions,
trouble concentrating, obsessive thought, and perception of bodily dysfunction.

A quote by trauma expert & author Bessel van der Kolk speaks to the importance of social supports: “The
brain-diseasemodel overlooks four fundamentaltruths: (1) our capacity to destroy one another is matched by
our capacity to heal one another. Restoring relationships and community is central to restoring well-being; (2)
language gives us the power to change ourselves and others by communicating our experiences, helping us to
define what we know, and ?nding a common sense of meaning; (3) we have the ability to regulate our own
physiology, including some of the so-called involuntary functions of the body and brain, through such basic
activities as breathing, moving, and touching; and (4) we can change social conditions to create environments
in which children and adults can feel safe and where they can thrive.
When we ignore these quintessential dimensions of humanity, we deprive people of ways to heal from trauma
and restore their autonomy. Being a patient, rather than a participant in one’s healing process, separates
suffering people from their community and alienates them from an inner sense of self.”

The strategy to address the identified issue 1S to offer yoga tools and resources, skillfully facilitated through a
trauma informed lens. This peer support style yoga program will commence on March 27’ 2019, sessions will
be 90 minutes in length and run for 10 consecutive weeks. Each session is theme based and begins with open
discussion to build rapport and trust within the group followed by movement and a variety of breath,
meditation and mindfulness techniques. Below is a breakdown of the strategic plan for each week:

1) SAFETY external awareness, creating a safe space within, postures that promote a felt sense of safety,

titration.
2) CONNECTION- cultivate feelings of secure attachment, circle formation, moving and breathing in unison,
‘mirroring’ activities, creating interpersonal rhythms.
3) DISCERNMENT- the practice of making choices, how do we know when it's the right choice? Exploring
internal cues.
4) EMPATHY—exploring shared experience and what we have in common as a group.
5) TRUTH in ACTION - building on discernment ”what’s true for you?”, the practice of taking effective action,

getting curious about the ‘inner-voice’ is the ’inner-critic’ telling the truth?
A

6) STRENGTH- strength building postures for the physical body, mindfulness and meditation to strengthen the
mental and emotional bodies, embodying characteristics of the ‘humble warrior’.
7) ACCOUNTABILITY activities and postures that explore personal responsibility & impact of one part of the

bigger collective through group & partner postures.


8) SUPPORT—the use of supportive props (i.e. yoga blocks, the wall, the shoulder of the person beside us),
getting curious about reaching out, processing what supports do they need off the mat?

9) ACCEPTANCE experiencing thoughts and feelings without judgement, accepting what is in the present

moment.
10) EMPOWERMENT give back the power of choice by offering options, and modifications, invitational language,
-

no use of commands, creating a personal affirmation for moving forward.

of social support and a decrease in recidivism.

The concept for this project is largely inspired by existing not for profit organizations offering yoga to
marginalized populations throughout North America. Since 2002, Prison Yoga Project
(https://prisonyogaorg/) has been successfully running trauma-informed yoga programs throughout California
prisons. In a 2017 research paper from the University of Colorado former inmates were interviewed to
examine the perceived impacts of the program among released inmates.
Some illustrative quotes from the paper:
Nate: ‘FY!’ refersto Prison Yoga Project

“What touched me the most was that after every session, after going a full hour, I actually had a sense of
feeling loved and appreciated, and that sense of accomplishment, that I ’d worked a little bit through an issue.
It really just helps me to start validating myself based on the accomplishment of understanding myself a little
better. . finishing a practice, following through with something.” (40-50 years of age, four years in PYP,
released for four years)

FCSS Grants to Groups Funding Application Page 7 11/22/2018


“When we build that community sometimes things come up and we have an opportunity to process some of
that stuff, talk about it, take the energy out of it. It was only through building this community of ourselves that
gave us permission to be vulnerable and talk about some of that stuff. In prison, it’s all about being tough and
hyperrnasculinity, so being able to talk about the hurt, the fear, those are less so taboo. Not so when you’re
doing this practice” (40-50 years of age, ten years in PYP, released for three years)

“Instead of being reactive to the situation, PYP guys would be responsive to the situation. So they thought
more about what they was gonna do before they actually did it, versus before when they would just do
something before considering the impact that action would have on them, their family, the other person,
themselves.” (40-50 years of age, three years in PYP, released for one year)

“Staying in an uncomfortable position and not letting the mind tell you a story, but just focusing on the breath,
it helps you build your muscle for dealing with uncomfortable situations in life. I felt like when I was doing it,
I was building a reservoir of calm for the stress out here.” (50-60 years of age, ten years in PYP, released for
three years)

“I think that by staying connected to the breath, my likelihood to re-offend is low. It helps me to disengage
from a lot of old behaviors and a lot of old thoughts.” (40-50 years of age, three years in PYP, released for one
year)

“It’s all predicated upon what you learn and what you feel as a person after going through that class. I never
want to harm anybody. I never want to harm anybody ever again. If anything, I want to do good for people.”
(60-70 years of age, four years in PYP, released for three years)

“PYP gives us a tool to deal with stress. And from the people I did this program with, which was mostly guys
doing a lot of time for violence, this gives us a way to deal with stress, to feel our emotions, and it taught us
compassion for ourselves and other people. So it would be hard for me to even imagine someone who was in
the program for a few months to commit violence, it’s much less likely they would hurt somebody.” (50-60
years of age, ten years in PYP, released for three years)

“I think PYP was an anchor to my true self. I was in an institution and deprived of all my dignity, and I could
still be happy, joyous and free.” (40-50 years of age, ten years in PYP, released for three years)

“PYP facilitators came at me with love, compassion, which was something that I’d never experienced before.
It got me to a point where I believed in myself, like maybe I can be loved for who I am. And by having these
new tapes replace the old tapes of feeling unloved, really brought my stress and anxiety down. So it was a
transformation.” (60-70 years of age, four years in PYP. released for three years)
