My guest on Stories Connect People podcast is Georgia Deane. Georgia's work and mission is to empower those incarcerated and provide them with the practice and tools to help recover from their trauma. Much of the basis of this is yoga. Practicing yoga can help free one from feelings of depression about the past and feelings of anxiety about the future. It is especially healing for those that have been through trauma. Georgia said we all have experienced trauma at some level in our life.
As a child, Georgia's father was in prison and later her brother fell into a life of crime. Through yoga she began to experience her own healing. She founded Live Free Yoga organization something that had never done before. It is a program focused on bringing a yoga teacher certification to incarcerated people.
Georgia is making a difference in the lives of people when everyone else likely has given up on them. You will see her love, passion and heart for others as she strives to use movement and mindfulness to help those in the system and teens impacted by their parent's incarceration.
