Yoga For Blind Girls at NAB Satpur

Teaching Of Yoga to the Blind Students of NAB ( National Association Of Blinds) NAB has School and residential facility for the Blind Girl Students. With the help of Bharatiya Yoga Sansthan Nashik, we conduct Yoga Classes for 40 Blind Students of the NAB at their premises. Childhood visual deficiency impairs children's neuro-psychomotor development, considerably affecting physical, mental, social, and emotional health. Yoga's multifaceted approach help children with visual impairment to cope with their challenges. Forty girl students volunteered to learn yoga practices, and classes were held weekly1 day, 1and 1/2 hr per session throughout the year. We introduced a new method using a sequence of five teaching steps: verbal instructions, tactile modeling, step-by-step teaching, learning in a group, and physical guidance. Specially designed protocol pave the way to impart yoga in an exciting and comfortable way to children. The following five-step method was adapted to teach the yoga practices effectively. Step 1: Verbal guidance Verbal communication is a prime medium for children and unable to make eye contact, or perceive facial expressions or gestures. Descriptions explain actions required to perform practical tasks. Verbal guidance is most effective when composed in simple, precise language. Clear, concise, and complete descriptions of each yoga practice were given. In addition, to avoid possible adverse effects, each yoga posture's limitations and contraindications were explained Step 2.Tactile modeling Children greatly rely on the sense of touch as an additional mode of learning. For many, touch is the chief mode of communication.For better understanding and to create interest, the Yoga Postures were demonstrated by the Yoga Instructer. Each child was encouraged to touch and feel the Yoga Instructer until they thought they really understood the body position. Touching greatly enhanced the student's ability to understand precisely what is required to correctly position every part of their body in each yoga posture. Step 3 Step-by-step teaching Proficiency comes not by verbal instruction but by practice. Step-by-step instruction constitutes a strategic teaching method that divides each practice into sub-steps to understand, memorize, and perform it comfortably. It is more effective in verbal guidance, and helps students gain proficiency, though overall instruction may require a longer time period. In addition, extra time is needed to reinstruct when sub-steps are forgotten. Practices become easier to learn when participants can touch and feel an instructor or peer-performing the movements. Students were divided into groups of four or five of the same gender, standing in a circle with a demonstrator student at the center. As the demonstrator performed the posture according to the yoga instructor's directions, members of the group touched and felt the body and limb positions. This method was highly effective in helping the children to learn postures. Although similar to tactile modeling, students experienced the required positions more directly. Step 4: Physical assistance with verbal guidance Physical assistance is an important, effective teaching technique to improve the performance of children with. When other modes of teaching fail to provide clear conception of a practice, this strategy becomes appropriate to teach a skill. Instructions are given in Marathi language to accomplish each posture after they have successfully acquired its essence. When all the students could follow instructions for each asana, the yoga instructor corrected their postures guiding their limbs to better positions individually. Since children hesitate to explore, and may misunderstand or misinterpret touch, this step help them become comfortable with a practice. Practices were selected to promote all-round development, including breathing exercises (5 min) to normalize breath rate; loosening practices (10 min) to stretch and relax muscles; asanas, maintaining various postures (20 min) to release physical and mental tensions by relaxing and revitalizing the body; pranayama, voluntary regulation of breathing (10 min) to lower levels of stress and anxiety, relaxation practices (15 min) to relax the whole psycho-physiological system, and develop body–mind awareness. The Small stories about Asanas and prayers made their sessions more interesting In the beginning most students found adjustment to the new routine difficult, while for some comprehension, it was limited. A few were nervous and afraid of falling. Some could not recognize the direction of the instructor's voice, and faced the opposite direction, but within one month, all started taking more interest and were more positive about learning yogic practices.
