Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/27/2016 -- YogaLifestyles.com, the leading website that provides insightful tips about yoga and meditation, reveals that yoga can help prisoners to rehabilitate while serving their sentence in prison. According to YogaLifestyles.com, six of the prison facilities in New Zealand are making the most out of yoga practice to help the prisoners in coping up with the stress and anxiety caused by staying inside the four corners of the jail. Aside from that, the group that teaches yoga also aims to collaborate with the other four prison facilities located in New Zealand.

Being confined in a prison facility is a heart-wrenching moment even for hardened criminals. As a matter of fact, the rate of depression and anxiety among prisoners are evidently increasing. Because of this, the rate of prisoners committing suicide and harming themselves increases as well. The burden of staying for years or decades inside a confined facility doubles up for first-time offenders.

The factors that prevent prisoners from going outside the jail are highly considered. Thus, the prison staffs and a group of professional yoga enthusiasts collaborated in order to help the prisoners. Yoga can be done in a small room or area where the participants can move freely. With the help of doing yoga on a regular basis, the prisoners can help to find the balance they need in their lives. The yoga instructors assigned in the six prison facilities teach their new students how to do yoga and what are the health and mental benefits it offers.

In the past decades, yoga has been proven as an effective method that provides overall wellness. Yoga isn't just a fitness activity as it also allows the practitioners to be mentally healthy. In addition to that, yoga is an effective method used to help the practitioners to calm and relax the respiratory system of the body. This is due to the fact that yoga focuses on the importance of proper breathing to reduce the anxiety of the mind. Without a single doubt, the benefits of yoga can have a good help for prisoners in order for them to fight the stress and anxiety that they feel.
