Before all our programming paused back in March, our practices across the Greater Philadelphia area helped to transcend the barriers that prisons and jails create in so many ways. Instead, these practices offer a radical space to be in community and are both based on the latest evidence-based methodology and periodically evaluated. By donating to TYP on #GivingTuesday, you will help us get back to supporting these underserved communities in new ways as we adapt our programming through safe avenues to build back our connection. We appreciate anything you may give! https://secure.lglforms.com/form_e/s/J-9wdR-S5zmXEngRG7lq8w

Good morning and happy #GivingTuesday! As a kick-off to the Global Day of Giving we want to share with you a simple self care practice to get ready for the rest of your day. Start in a standing position. As you inhale, extend your arms overhead. On your exhale, fold in half releasing your hands towards the ground. Inhale and lift your spine/torso up half-way. Exhale, fold back down. Inhale to come back up to stand by pressing your feet into the ground and sweeping arms alongs...ide your body. Exhale take your hands to your heart. Repeat this a few times as you'd like to create a moving meditation. - As we share our Year of Transformation, give the gift of yoga and help us reach our goal of $10,000 today!
