Yoganitos

What is a Yoganito? A little yogi in training who is part of Hekab Be Biblioteca’s After School program. What does a Yoganito do? Just like the big kids at Yoga en Akumal they make Sun Salutations, Warriors, Triangles, Monkeys, Dogs & Cats, Mountains and Trees. They are singing mantras, OM-ing OM’s, and, breathing.

Yoga en Akumal began offering this enrichment program to Hekab Be in the Summer of 2010 as a karma yoga project. Last summer, 2011, we had four weeks of classes (3 times a week) themed around characters of yoga mythology. The benefits merited keeping the class going and this fall we continued to offer weekly classes.

Hekab Be and the children are enthusiastic and we are now fundraising for Hekab Be to institute Yoganitos as a regular ongoing program. At their request, we have moved into 2012 offering classes twice a week! Maestra Ileana Cuenca’s dedication has carried us forward. Now that is E-Love-Ution!

We are looking for support for this wonderful program. Literarily $125 US a month, or $1,600 Pesos, is all it takes for 15-20 children to take 2 yoga classes a week for a month.

Many thanks to Rhett Schober and Akumal Villas, Glenna Johnston and Leticia Cordova for their contributions that have generously launched our efforts.
