Wesley Snipes teaching yoga in prison

LEWIS RUN, Pa., Jan. 1 (UPI) -- Actor Wesely Snipes has hung out his shingle as a yoga instructor as he serves his sentence for tax charges in a Pennsylvania federal prison.

Sources told TMZ that Snipes recently requested yoga mats for himself and other inmates at the McKean Correctional Facility, and that the request was granted.

Snipes starred in a string of films including the "Blade" action trilogy; however, he ran into charges of filing false tax returns and was locked up at McKean in December to serve three years.
