The Art of Yoga Project is a non-profit organization that serves over 700 at-risk, incarcerated and exploited girls every year, serving over 6000 girls since its inception over a decade ago. Its core work is in detention facilities in San Mateo, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties. The Project goes directly into these facilities bringing a mindfulness-based curriculum combining yoga, meditation, creative arts and writing. Its mission is to empower young girls while teaching accountability and well-being. Its team includes specially trained, trauma-informed yoga teachers and art and writing educators. To keep girls connected after release, the Project has partnerships with middle schools and high schools that are primarily gang-impacted in their home counties. The Project also has programs for girls in substance abuse treatment facilities, level 14 facilities, and organizations working with sex-trafficked girls.

WellnessCast™ Conversation with Professor Ron Tyler, Director, Criminal Defense Clinic, Stanford Law
As a public defender, you are the bearer of bad news, responsible for defending an enormous number of clients against the vast power of the government with all its resources, and doing daily battle with every other member of the criminal justice system, while sometimes you don’t feel supported by even your own friends and loved ones. Join Stanford Law Professor Joe Bankman and Sarah Weinstein, a lawyer and psychotherapist, for a personal and moving conversation with Stanford Law Professor Ron Tyler as he shares his experience and wisdom as a long-time assistant federal public defender and now as Director of the Criminal Defense Clinic at Stanford Law. Professor Tyler is passionate about preventing burnout and building resilience for lawyers by teaching self-care and mindfulness-based techniques. In this episode, he candidly opens up about an emotionally overwhelming experience during his first day as a public defender and offers several approaches for surviving in this very challenging career, including a favorite practice he uses to maintain his own well-being.
