Yoga Instructor, Irene Auma is inspiring female prisoners in Kenya through the country’s first-ever yoga-in-prisons program.
Using her initiative, Peace Within Prison Yoga (PWPY) Auma gets female prisoners to come together for yoga and meditation. This creates a relaxed environment in which the inmates openly reflect on their crimes, thereby making their rehabilitation easy.
Speaking about what inspires her to do more in her work, Auma said:
“[The female prisoners] are here with different cases and some are sad, some are missing their families. They are missing their normal lives and I do it because it is a service to humanity.”
