Yoga and meditation offered at Shuman Detention Center

When the door of a secure, all-male unit at Shuman Juvenile Detention Center was unlocked Friday for Felicia Savage, she was greeted by loud welcomes echoing off hard floors and walls.

“You game for a class?” she yelled back, rolling a cart stocked with yoga mats and blocks, essential oils, an iPod and speakers.

Ms. Savage started offering voluntary yoga, aromatherapy and meditation programs Jan. 12 at the detention center in Lincoln-Lemington.
