The Art of Yoga Project
The Art of Yoga Project is an organization that seeks to rehabilitate teenage girls in the juvenile justice system by teaching them art, yoga, and journaling. The program was founded in 2002 by yoga teacher and nurse practitioner Mary Lynn Fitton, and it became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2005.〔"About us" on theartofyogaproject.org〕
== Method of operation ==
The Art of Yoga Project currently teaches in several sites in California, including the Margaret J. Kemp Camp for Girls (part of the San Mateo County Juvenile Correctional Facility in San Mateo, California), the San Francisco Juvenile Justice Center, and the James Ranch Residential Center in San Jose, California.〔"Current Program Sites" on theartofyogaproject.org〕 The project has a curriculum that runs for a fall, winter, spring and summer session. Generally the girls in the program participate once or twice a week in a two-hour class, practicing yoga for the first part of the class and transitioning into art (such as painting, collages, and crafts) and journaling for the second part.〔Devon Ward-Thommes, ''Spirituality and Health Magazine'', May/June 2005, pg. 25〕 Studies have shown that practicing yoga produces a number of biochemical responses that reduce stress and improve one's mood.〔"Yoga's Health Benefits" on www.webmd.com〕 After the participants leave the justice system, the Project tries to provide each girl with a yoga mat, a journal, the art she created in the program, and a list of local studios where she can practice for free.
