Jnanasindhu residential school in Karnataka empowers visually impaired kids through yoga

Mon, 11/12/2018 - 11:31 -- geeta.nair

MYSURU: Shivananda Kelur, the teacher, stretches his legs out in front, inhales and raises his arms above his head. Later, he exhales, bends forward and stretches his arms towards the toes.Scores of students bend and adopt the same stance.  But this is not your typical yoga class. All these students are visually challenged.
Not just this. The students slide effortlessly on poles and ropes, swivelling their way to the top, and curling their limbs to attain astonishing postures. A casual onlooker is bound to notice this diverse group of students practising awe-inspiring yoga at this rural school in Karnataka: some of them have smiles that betray milk teeth, others are shy teenagers with a hint of soft bristles on the upper lip.
