Peaceful Revolution Project

Project Mindful Movement came about in Dec 2013, by offering yoga and mindfulness to the inmates at Coconino County Detention Center. Each week we conduct mindfulness and yoga classes with the inmates at CCDC with the intention to inspire positive change by working through and coaching on topics such as: triggers, addiction, resentment, stress and anger, to name a few. Approximately 7.3 million, 1 in 31 adults are under some sort of correctional supervision in the United States. Sixty percent of inmates return to a correctional facility within 3 years in this country. Many inmates struggle with addiction, anxiety, stress, anger, PTSD and have been victims of abuse and/or violence. Our mission is to have a positive impact on the inmates at CCDC by increasing critical thinking skills, creating, creating a less reactive mindset, cultivate compassion and improve inmates health by lessening their dependence on substances.
