The Other Yogi

For approximately 35 years, Terry Cortés-Vega has brought yoga, meditation, and compassionate connection into the lives of incarcerated individuals.

Inspired by her Buddhist practice, Terry began volunteering in the prison system to offer meaningful human connection to people experiencing confinement.

She is also the author of Buddhism for Healing: Practical Meditations, Mantras, and Rituals for Balance and Harmony, a beginner-friendly guide to cultivating peace, resilience, and emotional well-being through Buddhist teachings and practices.

Through her writing, teaching, and decades of service, Terry explores the transformative power of mindfulness, compassion, and self-awareness.

Her work reminds us that freedom and healing are not determined solely by our circumstances, but can also be discovered within ourselves.
