Kei roto I tuku kia haere ~ Freedom From Within is the mindset of how we approach all of our programmes and courses. The programmes includes techniques that help develop awareness of body and breath leading to skills in self-reflection and greater capacity to manage thought patterns and behaviour.

The Yoga Education In Prisons Trust’s Correspondence is a self-study correspondence course teaching the skills of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.  Available free to all prisoners in Aotearoa New Zealand. The course has been written by senior yoga teachers, in conjunction with professional literacy advice.
