Hari Om!
Happy Navarathri to everyone. 6th Graders had the first taste of yoga with our resident yoga acharya right after the Navarathri celebrations and opening prayers in the main hall. It was great to have them warm up for the Balavihar session with some serious bending and stretching :)
I would request the parents to ensure the kids are attired with proper clothes and the yoga mat from next class so they get the maximum benefit from this 20-30 minute session. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
We began the classroom session with opening prayers and learning the first three stanzas of the Gita Dhyanam Slokams today (Page 54 in the Slokathon book). Please try to recite along with the kids at home so they get few more reps before next session.
Due to the shortened session in the class, we could not get to discuss topic of the day - Carnatic music and Bharathanatyam. We will get into this next class. For this week we focused on Navarathri and importance of three goddesses - Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati who are celebrated during these 9 days. Kids were asked to share what "wealth" means to them and their perspective and importance of it to them. We ended the day with a game of hangman on words related to Navarathri.

We will reconvene for Balavihar on Oct 20th as there is no Balavihar session next week.

Ranga
