						"<p>Prison is a breeding ground for mental, emotional and physical distress and a repository for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Experiences of anxiety, depression, agitation, hopelessness, grief, fear and rage can be greatly increased under incarcerated conditions. Psychiatrists, psychologists and clinical social workers acknowledge that embodiment practices such as Yoga can greatly help people alleviate the symptoms that lead to both reactive behaviors and stress related disease " + "(<a onClick=\"window.open('http://prisonyoga.com/downloads/psychophysiological_effects.htm')\">" + "<u>Psychophysiological Effects of Yoga</u></a>). So learning a practice in prison for mindful awareness and embodiment is not only important for supporting behavioral rehabilitation but also critical for physical and emotional well-being. (Healthcare costs alone account for $2.1 billion of the California prison system's $9 billion annual budget.)</p>" +
						
						"<p>Most men in prison have become disassociated from their feelings and bodies as a result of backgrounds of neglect or abuse, violent behavior, and/or the overuse of alcohol and drugs. The Prison Yoga Project helps students to reclaim a sensitivity to themselves through a practice of self-awareness and self-control that instills non-reactivity and self-acceptance. The classes help to free the mind and body from confusion and distress allowing one to be at peace and receptive to learning new ways of thinking by engaging students in an appealing yet challenging practice of postures (asanas), conscious breathing (pranayama), and short periods of meditation. Discipline of the mind and body is emphasized as integral for developing positive behavioral habits and impulse control. The ethical code of conduct and behavior that defines a Yoga practitioner's way of life is underscored. The program also promotes non-competitiveness and intentionally fosters community building through cooperative group participation.</p>"

		+ "A typical 90-minute class can be divided into six areas of focus:"
		+ "<ol>"
		+ "<li><b>Centering</b> - - the beginning 5-10 minutes of the class is devoted to establishing"
		+ " the foundation for mindful awareness by disengaging from preoccupations of the mind and initiating"
		+ " the conscious breath work that is integral for the class.</li>"
		
		+ "<li><b>Opening</b> - the experience of centering is enhanced by engaging in a series of static poses that are held for longer periods while maintaining focused awareness on the breath and sensations arising in the body.</li>"
		
		+ "<li><b>Purification</b> - after the vital areas of the body are opened they are then 'flushed' through a vigorous set of continuous, moving postures that require concentrated breathing to facilitate the body through this energetic cleansing process.</li>"
		
		+ "<li><b>Resiliency</b> - this period involves building core physical, mental and emotional fortitude through a set of poses that require physical strength, balance and stamina.</li>"

		+ "<li><b>Closing</b> - this section of the class is dedicated to 'sealing' the benefits achieved through a set of seated or reclining postures intended to release any remaining blocked energy.</li>"

		+ "<li><b>Integration</b> - the final segment of class is devoted to surrendering into stillness, in both lying and seated positions, while being guided through a process of integrating the physical, mental and emotional benefits of the practice.</li>"
