Yoga for the Little Ones

by Noida Sadhakas

The Himalayan Yoga and Meditation Centre Noida organized a Yoga camp specially designed for the children of 9 to 14 years on 28th, 29th & 30th May.

Swami Veda Bharati sent his special blessings for all the children who participated in this camp.

At the beginning of the Yoga camp, a brief introductory talk was given by Mrs Jaya Bhagat on why yoga and meditation should start at this early age.

The teacher Manoj ji taught them the correct sitting posture and some basic yogic exercises. A special emphasis was put on teaching them diaphragmatic breathing and systematic relaxation from head to toe to calm their minds.

In addition, there were values like Truth, Fearlessness and Transparency inculcated in the children’s minds by Mrs Archana Ranjan. She gave them the example of Gandhiji’s life who practiced these values to become a MAHATMA. She urged them to be fearless and face the challenges of life with fortitude.

Mrs. Naina Mathur taught them a beautiful devotional song to bring out love and devotion in the pure hearts of the children.

Regular refreshments were provided to the children on all three days. Mrs. Sudesh Sharma took special care to make the food nutritious and wholesome for them.

While concluding the learning sessions, Mrs Jaya Bhagat took a class of silent mneditation to calm their body and mind so that they could carry back peace at home.

At the end of the camp, colourful folders were given to the children with all the activities they had learnt in the camp.

The most special gift that they received was Swamiji’s message which they were asked to share with their parents.

Swamiji says-“May the natural light with which the children are born not be dimmed by our false ideas about education. May the children’s education be designed to enhance that light so that the world may be saved from its own darkness.” With Love and Blessings- Swami Veda Bharati.

Children went back happily with heart shaped balloons with the message “LOVE AND BLESSINGS FROM THE HIMALAYAN MASTERS” written on them.

The team work with which the centre worked brought a great sense of satisfaction, success and smile on each beaming face.

Thank you, Swamiji, for your blessings, all your guidance and support to our centre.
