About us

Who we are

The Prison Phoenix Trust offers hope and healing to people in prison through meditation and yoga. We support these simple breath-based practices in more than 200 prisons and other secure establishments in the UK and Ireland by:

  • training qualified yoga teachers to work safely and respectfully in prison
  • helping establish regular classes for prisoners and for staff
  • mentoring people in prison through letter writing
  • peer support through newsletters in which prisoners share encouragement and advice with each other
  • sending specialist books, DVDs and CDs, free to prisoners and staff
  • providing prison yoga content for Prison Radio, TV and digital devices, plus publications such as Inside Time and Her Wellbeing

Our culture and values

The Prison Phoenix Trust encourages prisoners in the development of their spiritual welfare, through the practices of meditation and yoga, working with silence and the breath.

We offer personal support to prisoners around the UK and the Republic of Ireland through teaching, workshops, correspondence, books and newsletters – and to prison staff too. We work with people of any faith, or of none, and honour all religions.
