According to a statement, sixteen female inmates participated in the first batch of yoga course for this year and shared their many positive experiences in their physical and mental health condition.

Sr SP Prisons, IK Muivah lauded the voluntary noble service rendered by the two teachers from Art of Living and encouraged them to conduct more Prison Smart Course for the female inmates in future, it added.

Such yoga courses in prison were first popularized by first female IPS officer Kiran Bedi in Tihar Jails with excellent results.
