Krishna Kaur

A finales de abril asistí a la conferencia "Yoga para Jóvenes" impartida por Krishna Kaur. Entusiasmada por las interesantes anécdotas compartidas, un par de años atrás, por mi querido Siri Ram Singh, sabía entonces que no debía perderme semejante oportunidad. Increiblemente bella, fueron sus palabras y ahora sé que no se equivoca. Agregaría -como si fuese necesario- que me impactaron muchísimo su vitalidad, compasión, humanismo, calidez, sentido del humor, fuerza, inspiración... una hermosa mujer con una energía amorosa como pocas. Así que con gran beneplácito me entero que Krishna ha sido galardonada con el premio Malcom-X, les comparto la nota de Sikh Net News ;) Krishna Kaur Receives Malcolm X Lifetime Achievement Award LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 16, 2006 - FAMLI, Inc. sponsor of the 14th Annual Malcolm X Festival will honor the accomplishments of KRISHNA KAUR with the Lifetime Achievement Award on Thursday, May 18, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. at the Lucy Florence Coffee Shop at 3351 W. 43rd Street in the Leimert Park area of Los Angeles, California. Krishna Kaur is a phenomenal woman with a spiritual vision. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Krishna has been teaching the art of Kundalini Yoga and Self Awareness to the Greater Los Angeles community since 1970. She is a natural teacher who has shared the art and science of yoga with therapists, entertainers, executives, students, at-risk youth, teachers, seniors, pregnant mothers, inmates and drug rehabilitation clients. She is the founder of Your Own Greatness Affirmed (Y.O.G.A. Inc.), Inc., which is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to establishing Yoga based programs in under-served communities around the world. YOGA For Youth is a Y.O.G.A., Inc. program that, while serving all youth, is focused primarily on "at risk" and incarcerated youth. Through the YOGA For Youth program, consisting of Yoga exercises, breathing, meditation, and singing, the young people are given practical tools to enrich their lives in the present and future. She is also the founder of the International Association of Black Yoga Teachers, which offers classes throughout the community, takes the YOGA for Youth program into the detention camps, and sponsors a Festival of Yoga and Music in Cuba.
