The Prison Phoenix Trust encourages prisoners in the development of their spiritual welfare, through the practices of meditation and yoga, working with silence and the breath. We offer personal support to prisoners around the UK and Ireland through teaching, workshops, correspondence, books and newsletters - and to prison staff too. We work with people of any faith, or of none, and honour all religions.


Uses three fundamental aspects of yoga to create lasting change in African communities: Unity, Possibility and Non-Violence. Hundreds of students in Kenya and Nairobi, many of whom have been personally affected by HIV/AIDS and living on less than $2 per day have had the opportunity to develop their lives, communities and livelihoods by participating in the activities of the Africa Yoga Project.
Widereaching and inclusive, the project introduces young people to the balancing practice of yoga but also provides educational scholaships, job training, food stipends and housing and health services. Their inspiring work promotes peace, community, wellness and hope for those in need.
