Yoga has a lot to offer children in terms of their health as well as complete well being. Yoga offers us a tool by which we can provide a safe and healthy future for our beloved children. Yoga is both preventive as well as therapeutic for health problems that face children and is also rehabilitative in many situations. It is also important to understand the special needs of the children when teaching them Yoga and methods to create interest in them for this great jewel of our cultural heritage. Yoga helps children cultivate conscious awareness and increases self-awareness and self-confidence. This article describes the health needs of children, as well as the benefits of Yoga for children. In addition, the author describes ways by which the teaching of Yoga for children can be more meaningful as experienced in Ananda Ashram at Pondicherry. Benefits of Yoga Sport in stimulating children to take up the practice of Yoga is described along with important Yoga practices for children such as play Yoga, Asanas, Pranayamas, Kriyas, Mudras, relaxation and teaching of Yoga theory. Yogic values need to be introduced to children in order to make them aware and conscious of these wonderful concepts of daily living, which are qualities to be imbibed with joy, and not learnt with fear or compulsion. The parents and teachers can by example show their children the importance of these qualities and when the children see the good examples of their parents and teachers living there principles they will surely follow suit sooner than later.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

What We Do
5. Yoga is an
ancient practice
harmonising
mind, body
and spirit
At Special Yoga
Foundation, we see
innumerable benefits
on all levels of the
child’s wellbeing.
Over the years,
many studies have
documented the
impact that yoga and
mindfulness has on the
wellbeing of all who
practice.
When the child learns
to manage their stress
through therapeutic
yoga, it creates the
optimum state for
sustainable positive
learning and change.
Therapeutic Yoga
includes practical
techniques of movement,
balance, relaxation,
working with the breath,
sound vibration, presence
and mindfulness.
6. Some specific benefits include:
• Improved teacher/student relationships
• Reduction in stress and anxiety
• Improved resilience & immune function
• Developing the ability to self-regulate
across different environments and
demanding situations
• Developing emotional and physical
balance via the ability to relax and
release tension, fear and frustration
• Improved self-awareness of both body
and mind
• Improved quality and quantity of sleep
• Enhanced sense of wellbeing, calm
and peace
• Sensory integration
• Sensory diet: becoming aware of the
effect of food on the body & mind
Our programmes
are designed to
be integrated into
‘Education Provision
Maps’ and provide
support in student
‘Prioritising Targets’
strategies.

Through the power of Therapeutic Yoga we help children find their own possibilities and
abilities because it is not what they cannot do, it’s about everything they can.
These techniques when implemented over time can have significant positive affects on:
This gives a model of sustainability for therapeutic yoga within each
school. Delivery is through school staff with training and ongoing
support from SYF, which ensures successful management of the
programme and positive outcomes for students. This is achieved by
the practitioner, who provides your therapeutic yoga programme
being also your first point of call within SYF. This relationship is based
on sharing the same intentions with a solid understanding of the
school’s unique values, staff strengths and specific challenges.
This relationship enables each session to be beneficial to all who take
part. It is the ideal space for students to be invited to move towards
their intentions and have their needs met with support. As each
student learns to become more independent in their self-regulation
they move closer towards their optimal state for learning.
Special Yoga Foundation, redefining possible
To further maintain sustainability, we also offer support in
implementing therapeutic yoga programmes into provision maps;
finding evidenced-based practice through our research community
and offering an online practitioner support platform.
We collect student progression data and Special Yoga Foundation
offers a wide range of further CPD opportunities and trainings.
Articles have appeared in respected professional journals such as School
Psychology Review, Journal of Clinical Child Psychology, Early Child
Development & Care, and the International Journal of Rehabilitation & Health
confirming the efficacy of Special Yoga for Children with Special Needs.
