Yoga for School Kids
A Yoga Camp was organized on the 18th and 19th April 2011, at
St. Fidelis Sr. Sec. School, Aligarh, UP. Around 500 children
from class 10-12 participated in the event which introduced them
to the benefits of yoga. With a strength of more than 3000
children, St. Fidelis ranks among the best schools of the city.
The kids were taught simple standing postures, Surya namaskaras,
sitting postures and also some forward bendings. The asanas were
taught in a dynamic way which involved many speedy movements,
because such movements activate unused joints and muscles,
reduce stiffness in the body and invigorate the mind.
Undoubtedly, all students fully enjoyed the movements and
creativity provided by the asanas.
In the evening our yoga team was deeply touched as it visited
the Savio Navjeevan Bal Bhavan, a home for homeless children
from the streets and railway platforms.
