The REKHA SAHAY Corner!

Scientific and experiential evidence proves many of yoga’s well established benefits. From physical to mental to spiritual, devoted yogis everywhere race to their mats to reap the rewards.

The top five benefits of yoga practice for teens are..

1. PHYSICAL

Yoga builds strength, increases flexibility, lengthens the muscles, increases coordination and balance, builds core stability, and can help students’ posture rebound from a day hunched over a desk (or a smartphone!).

2. EDUCATIONAL

As a teenager, there are heaps of distractions around — from what you’re going to wear to the football game on Friday night, to the who-likes-who dramas….

Yoga can help teens mentally refocus on the task at hand. By practicing living in the moment on the mat, teenagers can more fully concentrate on the present moment off the mat.

3. EMOTIONAL

By practicing present moment living on the mat, high school students will have a better sense of their emotions. Yoga will enable them to connect with their deeper layers and understand more fully what they are feeling. By developing a better understanding of their emotions, teens can then more appropriately process them.

Emotional intelligence is a very powerful thing to learn at an early age.

In addition to connecting you with your emotions, yoga encourages self-love and self-acceptance. This benefit is especially powerful for teens struggling with body image. It’s a beautiful way to learn to love yourself and appreciate the body for what it is and what it can do, rather than what it looks like. It builds compassion for the self which then radiates to compassion for others.

4. MENTAL

Yoga’s mental benefits are fairly well documented, and as evidenced by the study mentioned above, teenagers who practice yoga show more positive moods, less anxiety and depression, and greatly enjoy asana practice.

With the stress and anxiety of exams, placement tests, speeches and all of the other pressures that plague high school kids today, yoga can be a step in the right direction.

5. SOCIAL

Yoga breeds connection. As mentioned previously, it means union in Sanskrit. By understanding that each and every single person is one, perhaps teens will learn to accept one another more fully, no matter their clique, social interests or popularity ranking.

Yoga is non-judgemental, and the more we practice, the more acceptance and less judgement we’ll have in our daily lives. Yoga will help teenagers become more compassionate for one another.

My dear heart,

never think you are

better than others.

Listen to their sorrows

with compassion.

If you want peace,

don’t harbor bad thoughts,

do not gossip and don’t

teach what you do not know.

The sex of sea turtle hatchlings is not dependent on the passing down of chromosomes, like in humans. Rather, sea turtle sex is a function of incubation temperature. As Ben Guarino at The Washington Post reports, at roughly 85 degrees Fahrenheit, turtle nests produce equal amounts of males and females. A tad cooler and the clutch leans male. A little warmer and embryos develop as females.

छूने दे ….जीने दे ….ज़िंदगी मुझे

आकाश के पतंग,

हवा के झोंके,

कोहरे के चादरों

उड़ते बादलों सी यादें को

बस एक बार.

When you stop

admiring yourself
and let the

eyes of the heart
open your vision

to vast other worlds
then all you do,

will become admirable.

Rumi ❤️

क्या कभी देखा है नीलगिरी के

लंबे, पतले पेड़ों को ?

रिमझिम बारिश में, हवा में झूमते ?

जब यह अपने ऊपर पड़े छाल को

साँप के केंचुली सा उतार

संगेमरमर सी सफ़्फ़क चिकनी

यूकिलिपटसी काया दमका

हवा में घोल देता हैभीनी-भीनी ख़ुश्बू .

तब लगता है जैसे

कनक छड़ी सी कोई नृत्य प्रवीण नार

दुनिया से बेख़बर

झूम रही है अपने आप में मग्न .

देखा है हम ने नीलगिरी को झूमते- झुलते वृक्ष

अपने वातायन से और कई जगह,

दक्षिण भारत के नीलगिरि पर्वत पर…,,

संगेमरमर के ताज सा शान से खड़े

यूकिलिप्टस को देखना अच्छा लगता है।

नीलगिरी (यूकेलिप्टस) मुख्य रूप से ऑस्ट्रेलिया , तस्मानिया , भारत, अफ्रीका और दक्षिणी यूरोप में नीलगिरी के पौधों की खेती की जाती है। यह पेड़ काफी लंबा और पतला होता है। इसकी पत्तियों से प्राप्त होने वाले तेल का उपयोग औषघि और अन्य रूप में किया जाता है।पेड़ो की कागज बनाने और चमड़ा बनाने के काम में आता है. दक्षिण भारत में नीलगिरि पर्वत पर भी यह बहुतायत में पाया जाता है.

Eucalyptus is a genus of over seven hundred species of flowering trees, shrubs or mallees in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Along with other genera in the tribe Eucalypteae, they are commonly known as eucalypts.

ना जाने वह झोंका

हवा का था या यादों का .

बहुत कुछ बिखेर गया ,

जो सहेज कर रखे थे

जीवन के आलों- दराजों में .
