Raj asked an elderly yogi in the village to teach him yoga. The yogi looked into Raj's eager eyes and agreed. At first, Raj could hardly calm down. He always looked around while doing the movements, thinking about his friends playing outside in his mind. But the yogi didn't scold him. Instead, he patiently told Raj that yoga was a journey of talking to one's own heart, which required concentration and patience. Raj nodded as if he understood. He tried hard to focus his attention.

Raj tries to do yoga postures

As time went by, Raj practiced yoga more and more seriously. Every day, he would get up early and come to the peaceful grassland in the village to practice. He learned all kinds of yoga postures and tried his best to do each movement standardly. In this process, he found that his heart was no longer as restless as before. When he focused on his breath and the movements of his body, he seemed to enter a peaceful world of his own.

Once, Raj had a very unpleasant experience at school. His classmate accidentally broke his favorite stationery. He was very angry and even wanted to have a big quarrel with his classmate. But just when his emotions were about to explode, he suddenly remembered the calm feeling when he practiced yoga. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, just like when he was practicing yoga. Magically, the anger in his heart gradually disappeared. He not only forgave his classmate but also worked with his classmate to find a way to repair the stationery.

Raj happily shares yoga

Under Raj's leadership, they would spare some time every day to practice yoga. The whole small village became more harmonious and warm because of these children's changes. Raj became a real little yogi in the village, and his story also inspired more children to seek inner peace.
