TRANSFORMATION YOGA PROJECT

From 2009 when indicted, through his nine-month 2012 prison sentence, Mike coped by studying and practicing yoga, with the goal of eventually sharing its power. Beginning first with those in the justice system then adding at-risk populations in recovery, veterans, and others dealing with traumas, Mike’s dream grew and in 2013 he founded the Transformation Yoga Project in Philadelphia.

Its mission to provide tools through trauma-sensitive, mindfulness-based yoga for stress, tension, addiction, and anxiety relief has grown. It now conducts over 350 classes per month, and more than 65,000 people in three states and 50 locations have participated.

Mike believes the Transformation Yoga Project addresses a societal need by attempting to close the gap of accessibility. All people deserve access to the wisdom of yoga and to learn how to be at peace with themselves and the world.

Going Om is a behind-the-scenes look at life in a men’s correctional facility, complete with alarming and surprisingly funny stories. Mike Huggins shares letters he had written from inside, lessons he had learned along the way, and how he discovered his true calling and ultimate sense of purpose.

Yoga gave Huggins the strength, direction, and tools he needed to shift from his role as a corporate executive on the outside to sharing a cell in our often-corrupt prison system. Before long, he started teaching incarcerated men breathing exercises, anger management, and how to take yoga off the mat to be spiritually free.
