We tend to those who hold space
so the work can continue —
with clarity, courage, and longevity.

We carry it together.

Kristin is launching a bi-monthly yoga class for the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie, supporting their Empower program — a safe space for young people who have experienced or are at risk of sex trafficking.

Sondra is bringing yoga and movement to two correctional facilities: a brand-new class at Shawangunk Correctional Facility (a maximum security facility for men in Wallkill), and a returning program at Greene County Correctional (a medium security facility for men). Both programs are made possible with support from NYSCA/Wave Farm: Arts in Corrections NYS and DOCCS.

Sondra and Huw have been connecting with Beau Musacco, an incarcerated individual at New Grants Correctional Facility in New Mexico, who founded Yoga4Prisoners, a powerful initiative dedicated to bringing yoga and mindfulness practices to others inside. Through phone calls and written correspondence, they’ve been helping Beau develop his curriculum — and Sondra is also supporting him to complete the Sadhana Untraining, enabling him to become a certified yoga teacher. What an inspiring collaboration!

We’re so excited about our partnership with Edovo, which brings MovingPotential’s Yoga for Small Spaces video classes to incarcerated individuals nationwide. A big thank you to Tom Krueger and Tempo for filming! Ashni, Suanny, Lea, and Sondra each lead a 20-minute yoga class filmed in a replica jail cell — and these classes have the potential to reach 250,000+ incarcerated individuals across 300+ facilities in 35+ states.

MovingPotential is collecting submissions for Unsilencing, our new zine featuring voices from those impacted by the justice system — including teachers and community members. Stay tuned for more details!

Your generosity has helped us amplify the voices of formerly and currently incarcerated individuals.
