6:45am yoga and meditation. Our die hard yogis are there with sleepy eyes.
For the young ones that have been coming every year to camp they are very familiar with most of the poses and can do them well.
Savasana or the corpse pose is the favorite among the kids as you can image at this time in the morning.
Our yoga session ends with a 15-minute meditation. The campers are taken on a guided meditation.
After yoga it’s breakfast time then off to class from 9am to noon.
The classes are divided into 3 age groups. 8 to 11 years, 12 to 14 years and 15 to 18 years old. These young ones have more questions after class.
My classes are focused on the basic philosophy of Hinduism and how to apply it in every day life.
We learned in class today that Hindus believe in one God, that God is everywhere, the belief in karma and reincarnation, and ahimsa (non-violence).
These campers are a very bright group with insightful questions such as “If Hindus believe in ahimsa then why are we told stories of Gods fighting with one another or conducting act of violence?”
