Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sat Nam I think you can and should teach everything, including Mulbhand. I've been teaching K..Y. in a women's prison for almost six months in Brazil and the only position they still have some resistance is cat- cow pose. They don't like it, and I knew they wouldn't do it, so when I ask them to do it, and they refused it, I started doing with them to show that It is normal. Women in prison have sex. Many of them are homosexual. (at least that is what I see here) I like to give them kriyas in which they have to lift the arms or the legs. You will notice that they cannot keep their arms up for a long time. Some kriyas with dancing are very good too. It is also important to teach them how to breath every class. They have a wrong pattern of breathing because of smoking, drugs and stress. I'm glad we can share our experiences... blessings Vedya Kaur Abra sua conta no Mail, o único sem limite de espaço para armazenamento!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I liked reading about teaching in a women's prison. I began teaching halfway through my level I training. I called up the School for the Blind and they said to come on over. They showed me a room, a nice big rec room and we put in soft lighting, tissue boxes, mats and even sheets to cover them. My contact and support guy came to all the classes which were held twice a week. And afterwards we walked over to his office and discussed the class in all its detail. We even added a third class, just for teachers at the school. MY most memorable students were two guys, aged 12 and 16, both hard of seeing, one of hearing, who after some time, indicated that after tuning in, just wanted to lie in savasana and listen to the beautiful kundalini music. When May came and school let out, i never went back. I think of those two guys and if they recall our time and wonder if they are still at school. Every so often i call the school to see about reinstating the classes but i don't hear back and then forget about it. THE students were from 8 to 22 years of age and were challenged in sight, and hearing, were autistic, had cerebral palsy. We did mostly warm-ups. They came with their resident captains who would put the students into the proper positions. One of the benefits was that it taught me to prepare lessons, rather, to create little exercises. We didn't do any kriyas; they were in terrible shape for children, very stiff, after all, most had problems seeing. Being a kundalini yoga teacher is simply outstanding, (I must say). Oh by the way, that reminds me, sometimes when I'm quiet I'm actually speaking in parentheses, ha-ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
