BEYOND BORDERS JUN 17

Without a word I just hugged him and kept him close to my chest for a long time. True, the children will grow up
fast and charge forward to face the world and it will be these hugs that keep our heart warm in solitude.
Seeing that I was not mad at him for his deeds of the day, he moved on to find the next challenge...
“A dad who is there to encourage all naughty deeds of the kids " said a voice from the sofa. The tone was of love,
affection and happiness.
I moved on to my Whatsapp group of childhood friends where those silly jokes still crack you up and keep the
child in you going stronger and stronger without ever growing beyond teens..
My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky;
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,

The Child is the father of the Man. - William Wordsworth

YOGA MAKES ME
HAPPY

Yoga and meditation for children maybe a new
concept , but it's natural for children as is
jumping or running . Their imitating nature
helps them to do all the fun animal poses
effortlessly.
Why did I take up teaching kids Yoga ?
We spend most of our childhood and youth
inside classroom walls competing and
comparing with our peers ! Sadly the
mainstream education system rarely provides
us with tools on how to stay on our own path
and move at our own pace, in short stay
healthy and happy. Through Yoga, dozens of
children I have been teaching have learnt
important life lessons, making it fun alongside.
They have beautifully mastered the Art of
being absorbed in the ONE thing they are
doing NOW !
Having taught kids yoga for 3 years now I am
convinced of its benefit for children with
Autism too. Helping them to accept their
unique personality and behaviors. Like they
rightly say "If every 8 year old practice
meditation and yoga, violence will be
eliminated from the world within one
generation !!
