Living in the 21st century, I am so grateful for the Internet! The web has connected me to so many amazing people around the world, and this blog entry is dedicated to a Yogi friend in Nepal, doing similar work as I: teaching kids yoga and meditation.

Shri Surendraji emailed me about 2 years ago, after finding me in cyber-land, greeting me with good wishes and praises for Next Generation Yoga. He said I inspired him and dreams of one day me joining him in Nepal to spread the love of kids yoga together. I instantly had admiration for this man, as in the 10 years on this path I have yet to meet a male leader like him. He is presently spreading his work with youth in India and I know one day, we will unite with our mission.

“I used to think deeply about the situations around the world & always wished to do something solid to make the entire universe more peaceful & worth living. I felt that the focus of the people should be changed. The positive attitude should be developed in every individual which is possible only by way of yoga & meditation.”– Shri Surendraji

I love the Back to School vibe in September…when the weather shifts, the sun is less intense, the Jewish holidays are here and it’s back to Yoga classes!

Themes I have been sharing in Next Generation Yoga kids & family classes are The 5 W’s of Yoga, Yoga is non-competitive & Autumnal Solstice Yoga. Introducing Yoga with reverence is so important especially when beginning a series of classes, like I am teaching in schools and at yoga studios. What Is Yoga? Who created Yoga? Who can do Yoga? Where does Yoga come from? Where can we do Yoga? Why do Yoga? When was Yoga started? When is it best to do Yoga? These are the foundations of Yoga and will support and grow the Yoga classes that we share

***Exciting news..NGY Lesson Plan: Yoga is…5 W’s of Yoga is coming to you this fall!
