What we’re doing
At MovingPotential (formerly Sadhana Service Project, aka SSP), we believe everyone deserves access to the healing benefits of yoga. This thought is our north star and why we started SSP – to make it a reality.
We bring trauma-informed, mindfulness-based yoga and meditation to people impacted by trauma, addiction and incarceration. We have active programs running concurrently in New York’s Hudson Valley, including prisons, recovery centers, and residential centers for young people.
Currently, we serve Samaritan Daytop Village (Meadow Run/Fox Run), Columbia County Jail, Re-Entry/Columbia in Hudson, Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood in Hudson (children with an incarcerated parent), and Sondra is running a program at the Greene Correctional Facility for men through the Wave Farm organization.
We also offer programs to train interested teachers, in order to work skillfully with different populations.
Our goals
- Extend our reach and offer yoga programs for justice-impacted families
- Initiate a book program
- Develop curriculum
- Create a manual for best practices in teaching justice-impacted families
