It's hard to be a kid today. Children deal with many distractions, temptations, overstimulation and peer pressure. Schools are challenged to do more with less and be creative in how they reach even the most isolated child. Yoga and Meditation is a low-cost, helpful tool that can have a positive impact on children. Yoga is meditative by nature. So whether a child is holding a balancing posture, sitting in meditation or moving through a series of poses, there's going to be a calming, soothing quality. Giving younger kids something to do as they rest on their mats will help with their attention, such as suggesting they think of a favorite color or toy. Older kids will find it easier to rest longer with less structure. There are lots of tools you can use to teach yoga to children. The young ones like games, doing poses from yoga books for children and singing songs with big, expressive movements. Older children love to create their own poses, be challenged by balancing and learn about the muscles and other aspects of anatomy. So let's try hard to engage our kids on #Yoga and #Meditation because it will really help our kids, let's stop that mentality of thinking that we are practicing Indians religious which is wrong and I need you to know this that everyone does meditation in every daily life so ask me how and will explain to you well. #Meditation #kids #Uganda #Yoga #Acroyoga #Africa #KidsYoga #CommunityYoga #InspireMeAfricaInitiative #HealthyEating #MeetingPointInternational #NewHopeDanceProject #BboySkaterGeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsBe4WegMp3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o6niua3dlcd4

Dancing is so much more than just grooving on the dance floor to your favorite tunes. In fact, you’ll be surprised how many benefits are associated with dancing. Not only does it train your brain and your body’s motor skills but it also is an excellent exercise for your entire body. As such, it helps you to stay physically and mentally fit. Even more so, dancing regularly can improve your general well-being, boosts your self-esteem and has also been shown to improve your social skills. No matter if you’re a professional dancer or enjoy dancing as a recreational activity, it sometimes can be a little difficult to get up from the comfortable couch and attend dance class. To help you with igniting that initial spark that gets you dancing. That’ll get you excited for that particular moment when the music is turned on and your entire body begins moving to the beat. Thanks so much for #NewHopeDanceProject for hosting us yesterday has we had film their community classes and we shared with them about documenting the community classes which they do always. It was great sharing with @olaambrosezoleka @morriznhdpu @agabayaya and @tommy_hatwell #Dance #Dancing #Yoga #Acroyoga #sharingloveandlight #Peacefulminds #Photography #Documentaries #InspireMeAfricaInitiative #BboySkaterGeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsxf684gf86/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lu1htzn6854x

It's easy to run to others. It's so hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It's simple to seek substitutes for competence--such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence. Even thought we couldn't reach to all families please we do ask forgiveness has we are trying much atleast to reach out many as possible next time. Much appreciation to all the team who we worked together, you are great. #CommunityYoga #Thanksgiving #Givingback #Food #HealthyEating #Meditation #YogaLife #AcroyogaLife #PhotographyLife #Peacefulminds #InspireMeAfricaInitiative #BeyondTheBeatHihopGala #NewHopeDanceProject #BboySkaterGeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJaHTlAnyl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qrg7jc479q5r

The most precious gift you can give someone is the gift of your time and attention. So 2018 was the year of challenges , struggles & transformation. I pray that 2019 will be the year of: •Success •Prosperity •Growth •Happiness •Love •Abundance And turning your dreams into REALITY. Because Instead of wishing you were someone else, be proud of who you are. You never know who has been looking at you wishing they were you. That's how our boxing day went with the kids of #Acoli Quarters having #meditation techniques and #Games then later they received sweets and chocolates from #Phap Quang Sri Lanka. I need to appreciate #Newhopedanceproject that's @olaambrosezoleka @Morris Ochan and @Yaya Agaba for working with me so that kids can received this knowledge. Thanks to @nsubugaandrew for bringing in master from Vietnam. Sadhuuu Sadhuu Sadhuu Blessing!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have a family that loves you, a few good friends, food on your table and a roof over your head. You are richer than you think.

Time is the most precious commodity we have because once it's gone, we can never get it back. Yet, we still seem to focus on acquiring things, rather than creating beautiful moments that will stay in our hearts forever. So I love giving my community people my time a d share with them about health through #Yoga. Now I need to appreciate everyone who came through today's class in #Acoli Quarters at #MeetingPointInternational and thanks to #Newhopedanceproject for inviting me around. For anyone willing to support me through reaching out communities with #yoga and #acroyoga kindly inbox me for more details please. #YogaLife #yogaeverywhere #yogaeveryday #yogaaday #CommunityYoga #yogafit #yogaflow #yogalove #yogaaddict #MotherNature #meditation #focus #TreePose #healthyeating #nutrition #Traveler #InspireMeAfricaInitiative #BeyondTheBeatHihopGala #BboySkaterGeorge (at Banda, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrirSu3AyoI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wtuo550rolvx

The smile of our mothers is seen when we young generations share with them always so this is how I always give back to my communities. Many mothers in our communities always have a lot of things in their minds and stress too which makes them to feel so bad and now through dance, yoga and acroyoga session with them, I give that hope, love, trust, peace and unity among ourselves. Now am requesting you all over the world 🌍 to support me through donating in on the link below so that I can make it to Canada for acroyoga teacher training and come back share with my communities people how we can make our community better place. Many of our mothers are unhappy 😒 so I think acroyoga teacher training will help me out with it when I make it there and then bring back that knowledge to my communities. https://www.gofundme.com/okurut-george-trip-fund #Donate #Support #Healthy #Dancer #Lindyhop #Shimsham #Charleston #Afro #Swing #YogaEveryday #Yoga #YogaAddict #Peace #Personaltraining #Traditional #Culture #CommunityYoga #InspireMeAfricaInitiative #BeyondTheBeatHiphopeGala #NewHopeDanceProject #BboySkaterGeorge (at Kampala, Uganda)
