Yoga Fundraiser
a class in aid of the Prison Phoenix Trust

Help offer the amazing benefits that we get from yoga to people who find themselves at the bottom of the heap with no lower to go. For those in prison, a yoga class can be a transformational moment if the opportunity is there.

When: Thursday 7 August, 7-9pm.
Where: The Activity Room, St Mark's Centre, 22 Greenwich South St, London SE10 8TY (entrance in Ashburnham Place).
Suggested donation: £12.50 / £10.50 concessions. Donate at the class or give online here.

About the class
The first 45 minutes of the class will be a yin yoga practice, consisting of deep, long relaxing stretches with a meditative focus. Once we have softened and opened our bodies, we will come to standing for an astanga-based practice. The class will be taught to accommodate most levels of ability and experience. However, if you don't feel up to the dynamism of astanga, you're welcome to come just for the yin section of the class, which you don't need to be fit to practise and enjoy.

About the Prison Phoenix Trust
The Prison Phoenix Trust (PPT) is an inspirational organisation that works to provide yoga and meditation classes for people in prison and also for prison officers. These classes truly change lives, not just for the rare individual but for many people. Here's what a prisoner at HMP Belmarsh has to say: 'Through yoga and meditation my peace of mind has grown beyond my wildest dreams. I used to be so moody and angry and the things I used to dwell upon and hold onto don't cause me to resent anyone or anything any more. It's only the gift of meditation and breath that has made me see that I couldn't progress until I let go completely of all the anger from within me.' For more about the PPT go to www.prisonphoenixtrust.org.uk.
