I'm glad that they are doing their efforts. Inmates really need these to cope with the stress inside the prison.

This article about James Fox is truly inspiring. It shows how someone can find true fulfillment by following their passion and making a positive impact on others. James's decision to leave behind a lucrative career to teach yoga and mindfulness to inmates at San Quentin State Prison is incredibly courageous and compassionate. It's heartwarming to see how he's using his skills to bring healing and transformation to individuals who are often overlooked or forgotten by society. This story has taught me the importance of empathy and the profound difference one person can make in the lives of others. Well done on sharing such an uplifting and meaningful article!
