Indian Inmates Take Yoga Classes To Reduce Jail Time

In Indian prisons, the lotus position can truly help set you free.

According to the BBC, inmates in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh are being freed early if they complete courses in yoga. The deal is as follows: for every 3 months a prisoner spends practicing yoga, he or she will cut their jail time by 15 days.

A state inspector general of prisons tells AFP: "Yoga is good for maintaining fitness, calming the behaviour, controlling anger and reducing stress."

According to the Telegraph, one prisoner reported that his anger had subsided since taking up the practice, and that he plan to become a yoga teacher. After, that is, he's released.

Four Noble Truths

1. We all experience a sense of dis-ease, or chafing in life.
2. The reason for this discomfort is not wanting things to change when they
do and wanting them to change when they don't -- attachment and aversion.
3. The good news -- there is a cure for this suffering.
4. The path of yoga and meditation and other conscious ways of being in the
world.
