The holidays has come to an end for some of the students as school calls them back again. In Uganda on 09th January 2023, that's when candidate classes from some schools have reported back to start up first term as last year's third term was cut short due to #ebola out break. This is the most important moment for me with children to practice #meditation as we prepare them to get back to school. Their minds has be in present and set their goals and objectives of this year. If you have your students there and you need them to acquire this kind of knowledge then hesitate to contact me anytime. Thanks so much to @roottorize for their generous supports of #yogamats and if you need quality yoga pants then just check out their website or page and purchase the best from them.

Learn To Laugh About Yourself. Smile when things go bad, laugh when the going gets tough and enjoy your time. Yes, it may hurt, but if you can learn to laugh in the face of pain and sadness then you will grow a skill more important than any other. #yoga #instructorokurutgeorge #acroyoga #buddhism #purelandbuddhism #nairobi #Cloudnine #happiness #happinessisachoice #peaceandlove #peaceofmind #traveldancer #dancelife #SwingDanceUganda #swingdancelife #lindyhopper #uganda🇺🇬 #yogaflowwithokurut (at Nairobi Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cku_zgVr8aQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Many people think that happiness is a result or a reward of certain things. Fame, success, love, a big house, a fancy car, achievements, hobbies, friendships, family, etc. Many people believe that each of these adds a significant amount to their happiness. Or, in other words, the lack thereof causes them to be unhappier than they could be. Because of this they keep searching and working and grinding, thinking that the next thing on the list will be what finally gets the cup to spill over and for them to reach everlasting happiness. 📸📸 @agustinsvarz #happiness #funny #fun #loveyourself #beyourself #believeinyourself #meditate #yoga #traveltheworld #naturelovers #dance #lindyhop #swingdance #hiphop #peaceofmind #SoloJazz #SwingDanceUganda #yogaflowwithokurut #OkurutGeorge (at Herrang Lindy Hop Dance Camp) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg0rIxvIX6R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Let Stuff Go - What does not make you happier afterwards than before is something you should not keep in your life. Be willing to give things up for that makes room for better things.

Service Whatever purpose you came here for, you must not think it was for yourself alone. That’s looking at it too narrowly. If you think it was for the common good, you will serve others. When you die, you will be smiling while others will be crying when they remember how you served them selflessly. We don’t need to sit here and tell you about the health benefits of yoga such as increased flexibility, better mental health, reduced anxiety and stress, protection from injury, and overall better fitness. Those are just a few of them. But what about the benefits of doing yoga, not just by yourself, but with someone else? Namely, your kids. Doing yoga with kids has a number of benefits, both emotional and physical. Yoga decreases stress & anxiety And as a parent, you are the primary influence on your child of what is healthy and good. If you are always running around and stressed, then they will come to interpret that behavior as encouraged. Our kids live in a busy world of school pressures, homework, after school activities, even media, like video games and television programs, and we may not realize the stressful impact of these influences. In reality, even young children may face more pressures and daily stressors than we realize. Encouraging your child to do yoga, and practicing it with them, can help balance out these pressures and ease stress. In fact, multiple studies have shown that yoga can decrease the secretion of cortisol, the primary stress hormone, making it one of the top forms of natural anxiety relief. Furthermore, yoga helps teach its students reliable techniques for relaxation and inner-fulfillment, which can help set your child up to navigate life’s challenge better. @yogaalliance @givebackyoga @yolohayoga @uluyoga @markwhitwell @nude_yogagirl @baronbaptisteyoga @lululemon @lululemoneurope @lululemonsg @lululemontw @facethecurrent @dailymonitorug @cnn @bbcafrica #yoga #yogaeverywhere #yogaboy #yogamats #heartofdanceafricanrhythm #yogapracticenotyogaperfect #yogapose #yogaflow #yogalife #yogainschools #yogatherapy #yogacommunity #communityyoga #slumyoga #childrenmentalhealth #childrenyoga #meditation #yogaflowwithokurut (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeG3SfsKuAM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Life ends. Be it unfair or not, lucky or unlucky, happy or sad, it will end for all of us. Just like a day in the amusement park, or a ride on a horror ride, eventually our time will come to a stop. It may be in a few decades from now, maybe in a few years, or it might be tomorrow; but hopefully not. What point is there to worry about a life you will not survive anyway? Why must we take everything that happens to us like it is the end of the world? Why must we stress about our clothes, worry about our bills, or yearn for a different life? What good does that do? There are many sayings about this topic, telling us that we should live our life today for we may not be here tomorrow, yet many of us ignore these ideas. But, given the question of what we would do if we knew we would die tomorrow, all of us would change how we lived. We would spend time with our loved ones, finally take the courage to go ask out that person we always wanted to, or would go up to our boss to tell them how we truly felt. We would do what we enjoyed and tried to fill the last day with as many happy experiences as possible. But why must we wait to fill our life with these experiences? Why do not treat death as a constant companion that could take us at any point in time and just do what we wanted to and lived the life we wanted to live now? #motivationalquotes #motivation #july #speaking #communityyoga #communityswing #sharing #learning #dancelife #dancers #yogalife #acroyogalife #photographer #happiness #encouragement #enjoyment #peaceofmind #meditation #traveller #solotraveler #SoloJazz #lindyhopperslife #charleston #SwingDanceUganda #yogaflowwithokurut #okurutgeorge (at Stockholm, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfdpsnNq2sd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I used to take everything that happened to me so seriously… Every breakup was a cold and deep abyss, every failure a brick that broke many bones, and every negative event an injection of pure worry, stress and despair. But none of it mattered. I was still alive. And that meant that I had all the time, the ability and the opportunity to still turn my life around and to make it into what I wanted it to be. But, most importantly, I was still able to smile. At the end of it all, is that not what matters? It’s not the house or the car, not even the family or friends, and definitely not the fame, success or money in our bank account. What matters are the joy we experience along the way. It is the amount of joy that we experience overall that makes life worth living. The only thing truly standing in the way is our perspective. An extra bill can ruin your month, or it can inspire you to work harder and achieve a greater life. A breakup can break your heart to a million pieces, or it can break away some of the negativity to make room for better things. And an accident can spiral you down an endless cycle of self-pity, or it can give you a second chance at living a truly worthwhile life. It is all a matter of perspective. Thanks 🙏🙏 to universe for the love, care and 💕💕 I need to appreciate those people who have always been there for me from day one and they are still with me up-to-date #love #loveyourself #loveislove #lifestyle #happiness #healing #healthylifestyle #yoga #acroyoga #swingdancer #lindyhopper #charlestonlife #meditation #happy #peaceofmind #peaceful #communityswing #communityyoga #slumyoga #FrankieManning #blhfoundation #ilhc2022 #travel #adventure #SwingDanceUganda #yogaflowwithokurut (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfIxIwKKsTM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Much of our mental suffering comes from how tightly we hold our beliefs. In the monastery my teacher Ajahn Chah used to smile and ask, "Is it true?" He wanted us to learn to hold our thoughts lightly. Within the stillness of meditation we learn to observe how words and images arise and then vanish. When we let thoughts come and go without clinging, we can use thought, but we rest in the heart.

Yourself: Love yourself and focus more on yourself. Accept you for who you are. Accept that there are things that are beyond your control. Accept the things you cannot change. Stop comparing yourself to others all the time. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is. Yoga gives you that moment to express the smile in you to come out willingly. #slumyoga #communityyoga #villagelife #yogaeverywhere #yogagirl #yogamats #yogaflowwithokurut #yogapracticenotyogaperfect #yogaflow #yogafun #meditation #inspire #motivation #childrenmentalhealth #childrenyoga #childrenmeditation #okurutgeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcUjUHpqiLP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nobody is going to take responsibility for you and your problems. If you don’t like your life as it is right now, begin to take responsibility for yourself, do something about it, and ask for help when you feel lost.

Live in the moment. One of the key to happiness is to live your life in the moment. You have no control over your pasts and you can’t predict what the future holds. During my class with the students of St Janan Luwum Bombo campus branch and I told them that they have to live in the moment so that they can be able to move forward with the world. So now am still calling for all lovely people around the world to come out and support me through reaching out to more communities now if we don't join hands together and support each other then I won't be able to reach out to more communities in Uganda 🇺🇬. Yoga is growing and more importantly that schools are picking up interest slowly and that makes me so happy.

Is it practically possible to turn one's life around in 6 months? If you truly believe that, it will become your reality. I believe all things are possible through Christ and mother nature who strengthens me. (my personal belief’s) But forget about putting a time limit on things, just keep learning and challenging yourself to do better. It’s Only You vs. You my friend! SLOW GROWTH IS BETTER THE NO GROWTH, REMEMBER THAT! Am really so happy for these challenge which I took after @india High Commission called me to take part in it because they always follow my community work. #yoga as played a big role into my life change seriously and it's still doing it each day I woke up healthy to face that day, I just appreciate God 🙏🙏 for keeping me alive. @usmissionuganda @rosalind.lucy @yolohayoga @givebackyoga @facethecurrent @the_arts_today_ @Southcarolinavoyager @dailymonitorug @bluemarbleday @prisonyogaproject #certified #yogateacher #meditation #communityyoga #yogaeverywhere #yogainschools #yogainspiration #yogalove #slumyoga #inspire #educateyourself #encouragement #rtr #heartofdanceafricanrhythm #inspiremeafricainitiative #uganda🇺🇬 #yogaflowwithokurut (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caj1GhCNF2C/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fear is a cunning enemy that robs us of our courage and diverts our attention away from the present moment. It is possible and important to overcome your fears and anxieties in order to improve yourself. When you're feeling worried, write down what you're afraid of. Then, while still being realistic, write down an alternative explanation that is less frightening. Your intellect will register the rationale even if your sentiments do not shift straight away. With practice, fact-checking your anxieties becomes second nature, and you become less influenced by fear. Am so happy always to stand down my fear no matter what through reaching out to different communities in my country Uganda. @givebackyoga and @yolohayoga thanks so much for standing with me to keep giving out #yoga classes to communities because one yoga mat has changed people's life seriously and impacted many of people in the world 🌎🌍🌍 #givebackyogafoundation #yoloha #yolohayoga #communityyoga #slumyoga #healthylifestyle #healthy #peaceandlove #practicingyoga #kidsyoga #yogaeverywhere #yogamats #yogateacher #yogapracticenotyogaperfect #yogachallenge #yogachallenge #africanyoga #africa #blacklove #yogaflow #yogalifestyle #yogaflowwithokurut (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_CXpYq7zQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
