In order to help our young people to identify, validate, manage and process their emotions, we have continued with the yoga classes.
Today our central theme in this process erre the basic asanas, which are a set of postures that facilitate us to achieve a higher state of consciousness, and help us unite the body and mind through breathing and movement.
