I am inspired by these people.
How many yoga studios do you know host over 100 classes a week with 42 teachers? It amazes me that such a small group like the Africa Yoga Project has achieved this in so little time and with minimal resources.
Many of us have the luxury of teaching in beautiful studios where yoga is often regarded as a luxury. But in the slums, jails, and shelters of Africa, yoga is a necessity. Margaret, a graduate of the level 1 training that Baron and Africa Yoga Project taught a year ago speaks about her transformation.
How many of us teachers can say we reach 200 people a week?
The video above is by Deborah Williamson. She is a Master Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher and has announced today that she is planning a trip to Africa 2011 to continue the amazing work they’ve started. Getting goosebumps cause I wanna go! Oooohhhh the possibilities…
AWESOME!
That is really a great project. I have been in talks with an organization in Ghana and they are really interested in restoring natural health practices, as a necessity.
In the U.S. there is Yoga for Youth, a great outreach program and in Jamaica there is the Guru Ram Das healing center and Adi Shakti Project.
