February 14, 2013 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- A local woman is channeling one of the darkest times of her life to create a brighter life for children on the city's West Side.

Meghan Olson is using yoga to help children boost confidence and resist violence.

Students at Nash Elementary School on the city's West Side are learning the principles and techniques of yoga through a program called Keeping the Peace, which is funded by the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority and aimed at students who have a parent who is incarcerated. Olson started the program as a way to give back from her shared experience.

"My father was incarcerated in Puerto Rico. Our family had such support around us. I had always been involved with children on the West Side of Chicago and I saw the need there," Olson said. "I see children who are shut down, mislabeled. I see children who are angry."

Shatoria Boyce admits she was one of those angry children. Her father has spent ten years in prison.

"Angry like, if somebody say something to me I'd be like, 'Uggghhh, get out my face. Or I'd just hit them," Shatoria Boyce, eighth grade, said.

Her mother says participating in the group has helped the 14-year-old manage her emotions.

"At first, I didn't really know what yoga was. So I'm like, you doing yoga to calm you down? And I'm like, show me what yoga is, and she showed me what it is and I said yeah, it can take your mind off a couple of things. It's quiet and you're doing exercise," Michelle Houston said.

Other students say the camaraderie of like-minded children and understanding adults offers invaluable support.

"I feel safer here and people can comfort you like when you feel sad and stuff. Like it was this one time when I was kind of sad then when I came in here everybody gathered around me and gave me a hug," Sania Franklin, seventh grade, said.

POPLAR BLUFF, MO (KFVS) -

You might expect high school kids to be more interested in Yoda-not Yoga.

But in Poplar Bluff, high school athletes are trying some pretty unique moves before they suit up.

Basketball players in have discovered before they hit the court, they often perform better at if they hit the mat first.

"It just helps relax you and stretches your muscles," said Junior Varsity player, Ridge Hester. "Usually I come here and then I go to the game and I play pretty well."

Hester is one of about half a dozen players that have become regulars at the school's Yoga Club. It's part of the grant funded Healthy Living Club.

Heartland News also caught up with Varsity Junior, Lucas Tibbs.

"I feel better, I think it will help," said Tibbs.

Tibbs and Hester say the life of a busy athlete can be stressful.

"There's a lot on our plates," said Tibbs.

Jane Fonda likes yoga as she can "think about going shopping" while she's exercising.

The 75-year-old actress is currently promoting her latest project, a new yoga DVD entitled Jane Fonda: Prime Time AM/PM Yoga for Beginners.

Jane has revealed why exercise is beneficial for both the body and mind.

"Well, thats the goal," she told Origin magazine when asked if she has a clearer mind from practicing yoga.

"You can do yoga and be thinking about going shopping. The goal is kind of like meditation, is to be totally present in your body in the moment. Thats when the most profound effects of yoga can happen. Thats what I urge people to try to do. Its very important to be in your body."

Jane knows that her age has affected her physical abilities. The star began yoga in the mid '90s, but has since slowed down.

"Ive had a knee replacement and a hip replacement, and pretty intensive back surgery in March - in fact, two days after I finished my DVD. I used to be very, very flexible, and I still am given my age, but I cant do the lotus position and things like that anymore," she sighed.

"I think that what I can do and what I did is something that most people can do without fearing getting hurt.

"All the DVDs that are out there are for younger people that can turn themselves into pretzels like I used to be able to. I thought, who better than me to get back in? I think Ive done five under the new brand Jane Fondas Primetime Workout. They are for Baby Boomers and older, and people who have never worked out, even if theyre younger. Everything is slower, its easier. Its very, very safe, and yet it gets everything going."

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - The ancient art of yoga can promote relaxation, reduce stress and improve overall health, which may account for the numerous yoga studios in Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

But yoga classes recently began at another Albuquerque-area location that might surprise you: the Metropolitan Detention Center.

(It) might sound weird, but you sleep better at night, said Matthew Pettit, an MDC inmate taking yoga. It lets loose a lot of toxins.

Ramon Rustin, MDCs director, said he started the program about three months ago after seeing positive results out of a similar program at the jail he previously ran in Pittsburgh. In addition to giving inmates something to do, Rustin said yoga reduces violence in the jail.

If it works to control behavior, we'll try anything," Rustin said. "Yoga is really good at de-escalating their impulses.

The jail offers four yoga classes per week as part of the programs inmates can take, at a cost of $8,160 a year.

Dr. Ron Gallegos, a psychologist who runs the program, said the cost is worth it because 95 percent of MDC inmates have experienced significant trauma.

"No. 1, it helps with different parts of brain start to connect so that the feelings connect with the problem solving; that's critical," Gallegos said. "No. 2, it gets people ready to use treatment when they get out of here."

About a dozen inmates take part in each of the weekly classes. Gallegos says hes seen a 40 percent decrease in violence and other problems for the inmates who take yoga. Eleven men were taking the class earlier this week when KRQE News 13 visited the jail.

I absolutely love it, said Steven Ward, another inmate in the class.

The Reebok Yoga collection reinforces the sportswear brands dedication to womens fitness by focusing on the many physical and social benefits of yoga. To further underline this commitment, Taras role with Reebok Yoga will evolve in the future to extend beyond the product design process.
