MAKE YOUR 2013 SUMMER : MEMORABLE FOR LIFE


SATYA YOGA : BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE
STOP WONDERING, START WORKING
EDUCATION FOR ALL : EACH ONE TEACH ONE MOVEMENT

Sometimes I wonder why?

I wonder why people are so ungrateful to each others
Be it an adult/teenager being rude to his/her parents, be it sibling rivalry, be it irritable neighbors, taunting relatives, fair whether friends, nagging life partners, intolerable colleagues, ill mannered drivers on the road, corruption in the political system, bribery, nepotism, redtapism, inter country rivalry, cross border terrorism…..the list seems endless

Not all but in most cases or at least in some cases we see that there is intolerance that is building in us as a pseudo pillar stronger than our value system. So sometimes I wonder WHY?
Well, everything since birth seems to be an act for money or anything materialistic. I don’t deny its need at all but think is a 500Rs note, after all a paper note more important than a young boy’s feelings? If so, then : Sometimes I wonder WHY?

My friend’s maid is apparently the most intelligent girl I have seen. She hails from a small village and if she ever studied in a convent, I am sure she would excel a million times better than most students studying in a convent. Why then is she deprived and those least interested to attend school/college are provided with all the facilities? Why is there such a mismatch in the world : sometimes I wonder WHY?

When I see marriages between two families, mergers and acquisitions in companies, I tend to observe one thing in common and that is, the rich is getting richer and poor getting poorer. Whenever we admit kids to school/college the trend continues… if the trend continues, there is no end to bring equality in individuals’ income and wealth. Then again it makes me WONDER WHY?

Education, health, occupation, clarity of thought and action is everybody’s right. Making this available to all is everybody’s job. Instead of WONDERING WHY , I want to speak with my actions and think with aspirations. This summer I want to make every Housemaid, servant, underprivileged, handicapped feel that there is some ray of hope and there is a possibility to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.
Try getting as many individuals as possible to SATYA YOGA, let us start with education. If you want your summer to be special let us create awareness about basic education, health and banking. With this movement I want to make 10000 individuals to clear their SSLC Board exams and women and kids get an understanding about the importance of health and wellness. Also the rural India should make efforts to start investing in banks than the investing in chit funds or borrowing money from the pawn brokers.

I CAN SEE HOW HIGH THIS MOVEMENT CAN FLY WITH SUCH INCREDIBLE SUPPORT AND EXCITEMENT FROM MANY LIKE-MINDED FRIENDS. THANK YOU ALL…..

We all need this : SATYA YOGA : YOGA FOR ALL……

There was a time when apes were our ancestors. In this evolution of man, virtually we can see the postures of a human graduating from monkey to man. So, with this one can understand, what differentiates a monkey from a man is just: “POSTURE”

YOGA is therefore the only way for civilization and human evolution. With SATYA we bring in clarity of thought and precision in posture. Hugh Prather in his book ‘Notes to Myself’ says : ‘Notes to Myself, My Struggle to Become a Person’ while I was in school and read this I wasn’t sure of what it meant. Now I realize when words of the Isha Sadguru translates my thoughts in his words as: ‘You don’t have to be a Super Human as being Human is in Itself Super’

CONNECTING KIDS THROUGH YOGA

“SATYA YOGA from Toddlers to Teens”


I HAVE HEREBY DEVELOPED A SERIES OF CREATIVE STEPS IN REACHING CHILDREN THROUGH YOGA..... IF YOU WANT TO INVITE ME TO YOUR SCHOOL pls mail me at kamala.july@gmail.com or contact me : 9663879672
Why yoga for KIDS

Yoga is not what we have to teach the child as every pose of the child is the toughest asana for adults. Kids apparently show more interest in yoga as they are in constant motion knowingly or unknowingly. I have developed a series of creative exercises for kids keeping in mind their overall development. Toddlers’ development can be broken down to various inter-related areas like cognitive, emotional and social development. There can’t be a better instrument than YOGA to activate not only their physical and motor skills but also for sensory and cognitive development

How to reach KIDS through YOGA

For any given kids yoga class I take that basic list and add books, puppets, feathers, scarves, pompoms, parachutes, stuffed animals, musical instruments, hula hoops, card decks, hoberman spheres, rocks, balls, bean bags, craft supplies, colouring sheets, and more.

6-8 YEARS

Kids of this age are familiar with the names and sounds made by animals. Yoga has asanas derived from plants, animals and almost everything that we see in the nature. I make poses of various animals like the cow,dog,giraffe,tortoise,rabbit,cobra,eagle,lion,cat,penguin,dinausaur,butterfly and many more… I also make the mountain pose, tree pose and derive asanas from objects they are familiar like the aeroplane, train and the like….

Disciplining kids of this age is not easy nor can they be blamed for being noisy. To manage the class and also to discipline their mind, I have discovered various methods which can keep them occupied creatively. Musical instruments like the bells, drums are used as signals for them to stand in a position making the art of disciplining them a game. Kids seem to enjoy this act and thoroughly involve in this activity

8-12 years

Sun salutation is introduced for this age group. Considering the amount of stress on their eyes due to lifestyle changes, I encourage a series of TRAKATA (Eye-execises) for kids. Pranayama and meditation is also introduced in a subtle way. Concentration camps are conducted by introducing a series of group activities and yoga is also taught in group



13-17 Years

When the body is just beginning to have a series of hormonal changes , Yoga helps to fine tune their body. Develops a sound mind and body balance. Anger, irritation is mellowed. Yoga for this segment comes like a packaged Personality Development Program. It includes

 Individual Yoga : wherein the Yoga enthusiast performs yoga on his/her own (Sun Salutation) and body ease exercises, Flexibility enhancing asanas.

 Paired Yoga : Kids are encouraged by assigning partners. This helps them to develop interest not only in their performance but also get considerate about their neighbours. This has proven to be of great help as students carry an understanding of ‘asking for help’, ‘volunteering to help’ and thereby develop a win-win approach in life.

 Group Yoga : This is done in groups OF 5-10. Asanas they are already familiar is done in groups so as to improve further. Each student has his/her own strong area and weak area. This gives them an opportunity to tap their potential. Though this involves a series of group activities, individual attention is always maintained.

Activities :

The various activities that are designed are internationally accepted. I have tried to bring in the conceptual understanding behind every activity. For example if we perform a

 Washing machine Activity : we are involving a lot of twisting, bending and stamina enhancing asanas. Then after a quick wash in the machine the concept of drying clothes is linked to relaxing and toning of muscles and activating the ball and socket joints.

 Animals and the sound produced: related to various forms of pranayama and shavasana (corpse pose) for complete relaxation. For example, Dog panting , Cobra hissing, Lion’s roar and many more

HOLOPHRASIS : When expressing a complex idea, a child will often omit the more familiar concepts and use only the most recently-learned word. For instance, when requesting a ball, a child is far more likely to specify "ball" than "want", instead of saying pick me up, kids only say “up”. One interesting feature of holophrasis is its economy, and its emphasis on certainty rather than conceptual completeness. Although holophrasis is non-grammatical, it forms the foundation of a child's vocabulary

Keeping this in mind a lot of objects are used to train the mind and body like the use of balloon, straw, geometrical figures, newspaper…. thereby CREATIVITY IS USED AT ITS BEST
