Meet a man who goes to jail every week ... but not for reasons you'd expect. For the past three years Cape Town yogi Brian Bergman has been visiting Pollsmoor, a high-security penitentiary, to give yoga lessons to the most hardened of inmates.
Founder of SevaUnite Prison Freedom Project, Brian speaks with optimism and passion about the value and potential of yoga as a rehabilitation tool and encourages us to view prisoners differently; to see them as having the potential to emit great light despite the dark place they currently inhabit.
He is passionate about the potential for personal growth that selfless service offers and the uplifting effects it has on society.
