What changes occur when we practice yoga and meditation? And how can these practices be used to support prisoners' successful rehabilitation?

In 2010, Rosa Vissers made a life-changing decision for herself—she became a volunteer with the organization Yoga Behind Bars. Her commitment to service, her love of yoga and her career experience as an international dancer combined to make a great foundation to her becoming the organization's development and communications director in 2013. Fueled by her convictions, Rosa believes that together, we can create a compassion revolution.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
