Roundtable: Criminology x Yoga: A Trauma-Informed Roundtable Discussion

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract/Description

This roundtable session brings together criminological experts who study and/or incorporate yoga into their personal and professional lives, including scholars, students, and teachers. The discussion will be in the format of an open forum with each panelist sharing their connection to yoga and how it has impacted their scholarship, teaching, personal or professional life. It is the hope of the organizer that yogis from all areas of criminology and criminal justice will join and participate in this informal collaborative sharing of perspectives and ideas on how the ancient science of yoga can be incorporated into our profession.
