Surya Namaskar Yagna 2019 by HSS USA

We had amazing SNY session at Schools and got very good positive feedback from school staffs such as Principals, teachers, and P.E. teachers

The sessions were led and demonstrated by Bala from Shakha. After one of the sessions, few kids came up to the stage and hugged in gratitude.

Telugu language school was reached out, where there was a good reception among the Indian community who are not shakha attendees.

One school wanted us to come back and train teachers. Another school wanted us to lead through a pranayama relaxation exercise before standardized tests.

Used the website “Next door” to connect to the local community to inform people about SNY
