Team SSM Bengaluru conducts weekly yoga sessions for youngsters at Vallabh Niketan Ashram

Team SSM Bengaluru has been associated with the Vallabh Niketan Ashram over the past 6 years offering monthly supplies of dry rations, weekly annadaanam seva, and special, festive meals for the young boys and senior citizens sheltered at this home for the less privileged. Academic support, interactive games, and Spoken English sessions for the youngsters are also offered to nurture their innate talents and skills.

On the 6th of August 2023, Team SSM Bengaluru joined hands with the Bharat Yoga Vidya Kendra (BYVK) of The Satsang Foundation (TSF) to launch weekly yoga sessions for the 30 young boys aged between 8 and 20 years at the Ashram.

During these sessions, trained BYVK instructors facilitate a series of Sukshma Vyayam followed by standing, sitting, and prone asanas, the Surya Namaskar, Shavasana, and pranayama under the canopy of the ancient trees of the Ashram. They interweave theoretical elements of Ashtanga yoga with the asana practice to help the youngsters understand yogic philosophy and apply it in all spheres of their life. As they delve deeper into each anga, the youngsters discover the nuances of yamas like Satya and Ahimsa through interactive discussions and activities such as journalling. 

The instructors are truly inspired by the commitment and dedication of these youngsters and express their gratitude for having had the opportunity to offer their seva to them.
