_Activating the Mind through the Body

Picture
Yoga and touch are an amazing combination to help the development of children's  health and peaceful nature.
It has been my privilege to be able to work with special children for the past ten years and apply some of the yoga concepts I learned from my Teacher.

Our experience is that many children with developmental issues lack basic body awareness. They are often caught in bodies that are strained, rigid and uncomfortable. This naturally affects their mental and emotional growth.
Stretching and deep breathing, as well as inverted poses help break the static thought patterns and develop a new sense of self-awareness.

The experience of touch, especially by a person who practices meditation brings about a transfer of healing and nurturing energy that can open up fresh feelings and positive thinking.
Working as a volunteer in different public schools, is an enriching experience not just for the kids but also for us.

Yoga brings Balance

The beauty of the yoga discipline lies in helping the child develop the strength of character to live a balanced life, at once  moral as well as socially responsible and at peace.  P.R. Sarkar. the guru of Ananda Marga  stressed the importance of teaching yoga to teenagers. in His words, getting them involved at this age would help them build stable and successful life.

Part of our Yoga for Kids program is promoting Yoga in schools.
