In three weeks I taught a total of 67 classes totaling 1,148 youth and adults. I had to be flown to the different communities and adjust to areas of about 4 hours of dim sunlight per day with temperatures of -40. It was exhausting yet exhilarating.

The first class is an introduction to Yoga starting with a calming practice that unites the mind with the breath and body. After the children practice this for about 15 min they like to share how they feel. The most common comments are “happy, light, loose, not afraid any more, no more anger in me”
