Teaching Yoga to the Hearing Impaired - with Ability Foundation

This program was held with the aim of integrating the aurally impaired into the mainstream of society. Simple asanas were taught and the participants were made to pronounce the names of the asanas as and when they were doing it, which helped in refined pronunciation. Pranayama helped in tremendously escalating their energy levels.

"Yoga for Mentally Disturbed Women"- at The Banyan

The objective was to help the women improve their mental abilities as much as possible. Simple arm movements and chanting of basic sounds helped them overcome their habitual apathy and listlessness and helped them respond. Considering their background, this was a dramatic change.

"Yoga for Underprivileged Girls" - with Good Shepherd Society

To give these girls a glimpse of their lost childhood and help them in their overall development, with specific attention to their general health was the aim of this program. The asanas taught helped them have a better memory, peaked levels of energy and even a classical bent to the doing of the asanas.
