The Yoga Show in Kenya

This benefit performance took place at the United Nations on Thursday the 17th of May and then again at the GoDown arts center on Saturday the 19th of May.

The performance consisted of Kenyan acrobatics and the practice of the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga accompanied by live traditional Kenyan music, including the drums and an African string instrument.

The acrobats who performed in the show, live in some of the poorest parts of Nairobi. They've been training as acrobats for many years. The performances were scheduled after completing 2 and a half weeks of rigorous training of the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga.

I didn't charge the Kenyan acrobats for the course and I'd like to return to train them as Yoga teachers, but they need to continue to practice the Primary Series for many months to integrate the postures deeply into their bodies. This will in time prepare them to teach the Ashtanga Yoga method correctly.

For further details or if you'd like to donate to the teacher training of the Kenyan acrobats and to the establishment of an Ashtanga Yoga center in Nairobi please email Caroline Klebl at info@sourceofyoga.com
