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. The grant enabled them to curate specialist content on in-cell laptops, comprising filmed yoga and meditation sessions along with yoga information and signposting to further support we offer, such as our lifelong mentoring service. The course was made available to prisoners in 16 prisons. Some 87% who tried filmed yoga and meditation sessions from The Prison Phoenix Trust said the sessions helped them to feel better physically. Mental health benefits experienced were:
77% helped peace of mind
75% improved mental focus
73% improved mood
69% better sleep
69% helped to manage stress
