The aim of the article is to present arguments in support of the practice of yoga among prison populations as a suitable therapeutic activity with rehabilitative potential that could widen the range of activities offered to prison inmates. The article focuses on the concept of trauma-sensitive yoga and its benefits for mental health and emotional regulation, rooted in a wealth of international research. The practice of prison yoga constitutes a restorative approach to offenders and is therefore considered to be a potential restorative trauma-informed approach to prison inmates.
