[Kundalini Yoga] advice for teaching men in prison

 

Sat nam,

I am continuing to teach men in a minimum security prison in the Los Angeles area.

The guys there ask me for specific sets/exercises for their individual situations.

They would like to work on:

the sciatic nerve

the knees

the back (especially lower back)

ankles

hernia (pelvic) - would pulling root lock help?

If anyone has any specific advice on those issues, I would really appreciate it. We are advised to not teach or demonstrate the following as they are not considered appropriate for a prison setting:

cat-cow
Triangle Pose
frogs
pelvic lifts

If anyone can suggest alternatives to the asanas I just mentioned, please let me know. Do you think it would be appropriate to substitute a similar exercise in lieu of those asanas? I would love to teach some kriyas, but they have cat-cow, pelvic lifts, etc.

Thanks for your advice! This group is very helpful in improving my teaching.

Sat nam,

Amy Lam aka Sat Prem
