MADURAI: As the International Day of Yoga 2023 comes very closer to be observed and celebrated on 21st June 2023, there is a positive message that is coming from Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu. A school student from Nellai is drawing national and international attention with her much acclaimed yoga proficiency that started much before from her days of entering a school campus for kindergarten LKG admission, and now taking to her to the level of a young icon in yoga.
K.Prisha, who is presently studying her 9th grade in Meena Shankar Vidhyalaya in Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, is a yoga prodigy who had already won 200 gold medals, with national and international recognition and bringing laurels for India, Tamil Nadu and to Tirunelveli.
“The power of my daughter Prisha is so huge that she became the first youngest yoga teacher for blind and my child is a certified yoga trainer by the central government. Her work in giving yoga exercises to visually impaired is very visible. Prisha was very different from her first year of age itself and today she is a successful trainer, practitioner and author of yoga therapy at this very young age itself,” says mother G.Devi Priya while talking to ‘Lotus Times’ media website www.lotustimes.org over phone from Tirunelveli on June 18th 2023.
Carrying several world records, the 9th standard student K.Prisha from Tirunelveli is an author on yoga therapy at a time when she studies books written by teachers for her schooling. She had represented India in international yoga competitions held in Thailand and Malaysia, and won gold medals, and at the same time she is good in her studies too.
A CHILD PRODIGY FROM TIRUNELVELI:
In August 2022, Prisha was invited by the Malaysian Association of Blind to take free yoga classes for 18 days there in Malaysia, according to her mother. She received global child prodigy recognition and little yoga star honour in Malaysia. “Myself and her father R.Karthikeyan are proud of what our daughter is doing and achieving. I just started telling her some yoga movements when she was just one year old, and today she is a global child prodigy. We feel proud as parents when she is being invited as chief guest for various events,” says mother Mrs.Devi Priya who taught yoga to daughter Prisha.
This just 13-year-old Prisha is a yoga trainer and motivator for the students of a visually challenged school in Tirunelveli where she gives yoga exercises training to blind students, and her parents are proud that she is one of the world’s youngest yoga trainer cum teacher and who is doing it for the benefit of visually impaired children. “The strong belief about my daughter Prisha is that she draws some super power and energy from her yoga exercises because ‘ yoga activates chakra in human body, and we are happy that something good is happening through her even though she is a child,” says her mother G.Devi Priya who is a highly qualified woman with several degrees and a gold medalist by herself in yoga and naturopathy through her higher education.
Now, her daughter is filling the home with gold medals. “200 gold medals already over, and we are counting,” says the proud mother of Prisha.
Many world records in yoga and related activity are awaited in next two or three months this year as adjudicators of world records are going to come to Tirunelveli to witness and judge more records to be done by our yoga daughter, says mother Devi Priya on June 18th 2023, who believes that “yoga gave her daughter Prisha super powers and people are also saying that they see some curative and divine power and strength in this child due to the yoga mission by her from childhood.”
