Yoga as a Transformative Role Inside Prisons

Nkosi will discuss his breakthroughs teaching yoga as a former prison inmate and how his practice continues to guide his life. An early childhood practice gave Nkosi the opportunity to offer yoga classes to his fellow inmates while formerly incarcerated. As a returning citizen, he was confronted with new personal and professional challenges. He is the subject of the documentary short Nkosi Eclipsed, directed by Candie Delevante. Nkosi’s story raises awareness of the importance of yoga for wellbeing, yet also exposes the dysfunctionality of the prison system and need for reforms on all levels. https://candicedelevante.com/nkosi-eclipsedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.
