Science is very clear about the effect of yoga on the brain, mind, human consciousness, and character. 

 

Most children are resisting the conventional educational system. That's mainly because that's a system based on teaching not on educating.

 

Ada's way of teaching yoga is through playing, thus it is not perceived as teaching but as a game and hence faces less resistance from children
