Our project seeks to understand the values, worldviews, and politics of prison yoga teachers who are either currently working in prisons or have previously done so. We hope this research will gain insights into the spiritual practices and conceptions of the health and
wellbeing of prison yoga teachers (PYTs). We are seeking to establish whether there are differences in prison yoga teaching (and teachers) in different countries. Our findings may shape future prison yoga teacher training and/or policies that cover their work. </div>
