Gurukulum Outreach
Published: 19 April 2009 | Written by AHYMSIN Office
For approximately one week the Gurukulum students took a small break from their own classroom studies to partake in some hands on teaching opportunities with young people. They travelled to fifty schools within about a one hour radius of the ashram. Their mission was to share a bit of the tradition with the youth and children in the community as part of India’s National Yoga Awareness Week.
On average, the Gurukulum students taught 2-4 hour sessions of yoga in both primary and secondary schools. Lessons included basic asana and pranayama techniques . The children ranged in age from about 5 to 16 years old and class sizes were anywhere from 30 to 200 + students each. Over all it was a great experience for everyone who participated.
