Transforming lives through yoga

The owner of Rushing Water Yoga, of Camas, and several of the studio’s other teachers are among the participants in this year’s “Yogathon,” to raise money for the “Living Yoga” program.

The non-profit outreach program teaches yoga as a tool for personal change in prisons, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers and transitional facilities. Classes are held at more than 15 sites, including Columbia River Correctional Institution, DePaul Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers for adults and teens, the Oregon State Penitentiary and Raphael House of Portland.
