Why Heartfulness?
Heartfulness adds another dimension to each class: the heart-space, where love, inner balance and contentment resides. This is a unique element of the practice of yoga for kids in Heartfulness, helping the young generation to lead their life through the heart, guided by the principles of the heart, transforming humanity.
