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.
Please enjoy this conversation with Rocsana Enriquez, a former student and current teacher with the Project.

WellnessCast™ Conversation with R. Ashby Pate, Co-Prosecutor, Judicial Ethics Case Against Roy Moore
Join Stanford Law Professor Joe Bankman and Sarah Weinstein, a lawyer and psychotherapist, for a special episode about public wellness. Our guest is R. Ashby Pate, a Birmingham, Alabama lawyer who served as the co-prosecutor in the 2016 judicial ethics case against then Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. Ashby is also a former Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the Republic of Palau and is well-known for an inspirational speech, Be the Light, in which he advocates for the importance of human connection in the practice of law. Ashby shares his experience as the co-prosecutor against Moore and brings an interesting perspective about the current political divisiveness in advance of the special senatorial election on December 12, 2017. After offering his own wellness technique for managing this important moment in Alabama's history, Ashby closes the episode with a WellnessCast™ first as he sings a few bars of Lead Belly's Midnight Special—featured prominently in Be the Light.
