I was just two months in to my first photography job with a daily newspaper in February 1978 and was walking around looking for feature photos. As I passed a feminist bookstore called Lysistrata, I noticed a sign about a yoga demonstration so I went in and found this. It was a group of women inmates from the Tacheedah Correctional Institution who had been bused into town to show the movements they had learned. Someone had been teaching yoga and meditation at the prison as a way of relieving stress on the inmates and it was a fascinating demonstration. The lighting was difficult and I didn't do a very good job of handling it but came away with a few usable shots.

Very nice.  When I first met Barbara she had a plant on her work desk which she named Lysistrata.

That's too funny! You must have really put on the charm for her. :D

Lysistrata (/lˈsɪstrətə/ or /ˌlɪsəˈstrɑːtə/; Attic Greek: Λυσιστράτη, Lysistrátē, "Army Disbander") is an ancient Greek comedy by Aristophanes, originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC. It is a comic account of a woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War between Greek city states by denying all the men of the land any sex, which was the only thing they truly and deeply desired. Lysistrata persuades the women of the warring cities to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes
