BIRMINGHAM (AL) Chapter Presents the Africa Yoga Project at A.G. Gaston Boys & Girls Club The Birmingham (AL) Chapter recently invited instructors from the Africa Yoga Project in Kenya to take time out of their busy schedules to teach Yoga to the children of the A.G. Gaston Boys & Girls Club. The children had a blast! ABOUT AFRICA YOGA PROJECT The Africa Yoga Project educates, empowers, elevates and employs youth from Africa using the transformational practice of yoga. Our vision is to create opportunities for youth to step into their greatness, become self-sustaining and leaders in their community. The experiment began in some of the poorest areas in Kenya, where we watched the effects of using yoga and the moving arts as tools for experiential learning and development. Participants received a wide range of benefits from the practice, including personal empowerment, emotional healing, and increased physical health and vitality. They quickly embraced the practice in their lives. Yoga also introduced an unprecedented forum for community support through open dialogue and the opportunity to envision and create new possibilities for the future.
