International research provides support for yoga as a wellbeing intervention in prison. Until recently, no systematic research had been undertaken in Australia to assess the effectiveness of a yoga program, or consider the challenges of implementation. In 2017, the authors, in partnership with Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Corrective Services and the Yoga Foundation, introduced a pilot yoga program at the Alexander Maconochie Centre in the ACT. This paper draws on comments from the prisoners who participated in the program and the yoga teacher, as well as the perspectives of a prison psychologist and the lead author, both of whom also participated in the program. The paper reflects on the lessons learnt from developing and delivering a prison yoga program and advocates for the expansion of such programs in Australian prisons.

灵活性课程：在澳大利亚监狱中引入瑜伽课程

国际研究为瑜伽作为监狱中的健康干预提供了支持。直到最近，澳大利亚还没有进行系统研究来评估瑜伽计划的有效性，或考虑实施的挑战。2017 年，作者与澳大利亚首都直辖区 (ACT) 矫正服务机构和瑜伽基金会合作，在首都领地的 Alexander Maconochie 中心推出了一项试点瑜伽计划。本文借鉴了参与该计划的囚犯和瑜伽老师的评论，以及监狱心理学家和主要作者的观点，他们都参与了该计划。该论文反映了从开发和提供监狱瑜伽计划中汲取的经验教训，并倡导在澳大利亚监狱中扩展此类计划。
