Yoga instructor spreads global vision of philanthropy through Skype sessions

The world is unfortunately full of strife and suffering, with many countries buckling under the weight of war and famine. Residents of such parts of the globe often have no time to think about the importance of staying stress-free and healthy, as they are often uncertain where their next meal will come from or whether they can even go outdoors safely.

One instructor is working on bringing yoga to these individuals in order to help them strive for their full potential and reach for better lives, according to the Hamilton-Wenham Patch.

Marsha Theresa Danzig has taught the holistic mind-body system to children in Rwanda through the magic of technology. She helps them engage in the stretches and poses of the regimen using Skype.

"Teaching yoga is one thing. Teaching kids is a whole other thing," she told the news source. "I have a very global vision. I want it to reach kids who normally have no access to mind-body technique training."

She added that the people in Rwanda have been "through genocide. They've really been through hell," and that helping them look within, breathe deeply and improve their mindfulness can help impact their outlook on the future.
