And not just in some metaphysical way – this is the real deal. Inmates in the Indian state of Madya Pradesh can now reduce their jail time by completing a yoga course. For every 3 month of practice they can cut their detention by 15 days. Better fitness, more peace, less anger and aggression and becoming a better person – it won’t just benefit those participating but probably also improve the atmosphere in the facility and the world beyond. And it offers prospects of becoming yoga instructors themselves once released. And yes, some may fall into their old illegal habits; but now you can easily spot repeat criminals by their excellent posture and calm demeanor – “and gently lift your arms up high.” Namasté, inmates.
