NAHAN, INDIA, June 16, 2002: Inmates of the local Central Model Jail are on the way to reforming themselves with the help of yoga. The gradual transformation is the result of the voluntary efforts of Mr. Sharad Katara, who is a yoga teacher helping inmates bring about a better change in their lives. Inmates wake up early in the morning and gather on the jail premises, patiently waiting for their teacher to come and begin classes. About 30 inmates were attending the classes, most of them go regularly. It is reported that the inmates have shown signs of improvement in their behavior and attitude and their chronic ailments had also been cured. They also felt less tense and depressed. Mr Katara was hopeful of considerable transformation in their lives in the near future.
