YOGA & MEDITATION'S EDUCATIONAL IMPORTANCE
Keywords:
Yoga, Education, Development, Performance, GrowthAbstract
The question “Is it inappropriate to assist your friends?” was a surprise to me when my very young child asked it. A number of years before appeared to be rather agitated and mysterious. The tyrant Yogi (new name) teases everyone; what is the motivation behind this behaviour? Could you perhaps explain the reason for the constant shouting that our teacher does? I think that if everyone did “yoga” in the same way that you do, this would ultimately lead to the development of kindness in people. The inquiry that I asked was, “What prompted you to assert that?” I asked in a light-hearted manner. The justification that was offered was that practicing yoga requires refraining from aggressive behaviour and refraining from yelling at other people. I was taken aback, gave it some thought, and then proceeded to witness my child laughing in a real manner before going back to her independent world.
