Being a kid @ Kids Yoga Camp

Attending the Kids yoga camp last week by MAYI (Malaysian Association of Yoga Instructors), validated my belief that a person can learn a lot from kids. They are true spirit of what Yoga Philosophy is all about.  They live each day with unbridled exuberance, seizing the moment and following their hearts.

Majority of them were trying out a yoga camp for the first time and the yogi in me was filled with joy and happiness, because it’s that first, hesitantly shy step which will change their lives for the better.

Each passing day stimulated their thought process asanas, various fun activities & made them more receptive of challenging limit of the body & mind.

In the due course they gave their complete trust to guide them on the journey of self awareness. I felt so anxious initially & tried to guide to the best of my ability, of whatever little knowledge I have. To what extent I succeeded, I don’t know. But it changed me to be a better teacher and person.

There fragility serves to remind me of the softness that exists within each of them, even when I can’t see it and helps me to keep in mind that we all need to be treated tenderly, at least from time to time.
