Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Training Course called “Breath for a second’’ which will take place from 20th September until 28th September 2022 in Laguna de Cameros, La Rioja, Spain.
This project aims to bring yoga and mindfulness closer to the youth, especially those who are not familiarized with it and therefore in most need. The practice of yoga is an invitation for reflection and meditation. It combines the physical and the mental gathering our physical and mental energy in the possibility of focusing in the present moment.
Doctors recommend a few minutes of yoga and meditation in a daily basis as in order to achieve a healthy well-being. According to statistics, youth is in a process of regression in every aspect that refers to physical activity and concentration ever since the irruption of technology as we conceive it today. A sedentary lifestyle on the physical side and stress on the mental one are consequences of this decline in personal care that yoga aims to alleviate. How to make individuals (mainly the youngest) aware of the importance of this reflective behavior and encourage them to practice yoga to preserve their personal balance, their health, their creativity, their energy, and active citizenship? Yoga and meditation can offer us the necessary tools to achieve a state of peace, well-being, and happiness.
