Bengaluru based Prafull Oorja, a charitable foundation, is working to
build greater awareness about the benefits of yoga. Yoga’s benefits are known
to all, but they are especially helpful for children with
disabilities.
Based in Bengaluru, Prafull Oorja is spreading awareness about the benefits
of yoga through awareness programs, training classes and workshops. To make
sure that yoga is not confined to an urban audience, Prafull Oorja reaches
out to women and youth in rural areas as well.
Yoga sessions for special needs children is unique, because it’s a form of
therapy. A child with special needs may go for occupational and speech
therapies or other classes; Like that, yoga also offers a version of
therapy. At Prafull Oorja, we use philosophies and practices of yoga to fit
the needs of the children in the classes in that moment. We also strive
towards sustainability. Our sangha tries not to miss classes once they
start and we have a substitute system in place for this purpose. –
