A Raipur prison now looks like a school classroom during yoga and Sudarshan Kriya practice. Chhattisgarh government has introduced yoga and Sudarshan Kriya in all district jails with Art of Living Foundation support. Trainers teach inmates yoga, meditation, and Sudarshan Kriya under the “Prison Course” for mental peace and strength. The Chhattisgarh government wants prisons to become reform and rehabilitation centres. The initiative improved routine, reduced fights, stress, and indiscipline among inmates. In Maoist-affected districts like Bastar, Dantewada, Bijapur, and Sukma, the programme transformed violent inmates into yoga practitioners.
