Our Ambassadors are people who have taken independent action to advance the Prison Yoga Project mission and the concept of restorative justice.
We want to honor them and the actions they have taken – their selfless commitment – to bringing relief and rehabilitation to prisoners through yoga and mindfulness. It is only with the help of dedicated yogis like these that PYP has made the incredible progress it has.

Kelly Boys
Kelly Boys’ depth of experience teaching Yoga Nidra to veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) was an invaluable contribution to the development of PYP’s program for incarcerated veterans at San Quentin. She actively partnered and co-facilitated classes for the first two years of the program and continues to play an important role for PYP as both a dedicated supporter, advisor and impassioned advocate.

He also promotes literacy in prisons through the Howard League for Penal Reform. Along with his colleagues, he’s been invited to expand yoga programs into all twelve of his country’s prisons and is working on setting up community classes for prisoners, so they can continue their practice post-release.
