About Last Prisoner Project:
The Last Prisoner Project was founded in 2019 out of the belief that no one should remain incarcerated for cannabis offenses. We brought together a group of justice-impacted individuals, policy and education experts, and leaders in the worlds of criminal justice and drug policy reform to work to end the fundamental injustice that is America's policy of cannabis prohibition. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to achieve our goal of freeing the tens of thousands of individuals still unjustly imprisoned for cannabis.

As a long-time fan of the band 311, March 11th is one of my favorite days. Happy 311 Day! Let's come together, yeah yeah yeah, to connect with our breath and allow it to guide us through an energizing, feel good yoga flow. Q: What does it mean to 'feel good'? A: Only you can truly answer that for you. So please do! Let's all check-in with ourselves - no judgment; only truth, acceptance, and gentle self-compassion - and meet ourselves there. The place were we are able to give ourselves permission to expand (our arms & minds), stretch (our legs), take up space. It's here - in this sweet spot - that the magic happens. Let's tap into this and explore it just a little bit. This class is new-to-yoga and returning-to-movement friendly. All ages, bodies, abilities, accessibilities, mobilities, and levels of yoga and meditation are welcome.
