Rohit and Shambhavi from Gayatri Vidhyapeeth, Shantikunj are no ordinary children. Studying in standard 6 and 8 respectively, these two minor siblings have mastered around 150 yoga asanas. They not only demonstrate their expertise with ease but also teach yoga to younger children in their spare time.
The siblings said they both were intitiated into Yoga by their father Ravindra Yadav at a tender age of two. Ravindra, a disciple of Pt. Shriram Sharma Aacharya, is one of the many devotees at Gayatri Tirath, Shantikunj, in Haridwar in Uttarakhand.
Rohit is adept in 'Shirpeedhasan', 'Gudh Garbhasan', 'Hastbuddh Shirpadasan' and nearly 150 more postures. Elder sister Shambhavi is adept in performing more difficult 'asanas' like 'Hanumanasan', 'Viprit Shalbhasan' and 'Mayurasan' etc. After practicing 'Pranayam' and 'Pragya Yoga' for half an hour daily, we do meditation, for which instructions are played daily on the public address system of Shantikunj for all 'sadhaks', Shambhavi said.
