Sawitri Guides Genta Saraswati’s New Orientation with Yoga

visitorsguidetobali.com – Genta Saraswati Bilingual and Montessori Primary School in Gianyar, Bali, is redefining primary education with an extraordinary shift in its orientation program. Instead of traditional rote lessons, young scholars are greeted with the rhythm of breath and the vibrant energy of movement. Spearheading this visionary initiative is Sawitri, the managing director of Om Ham Retreat & Resort and a torchbearer of yogic heritage. Sawitri’s holistic guidance began even before the students arrived, as she led the school’s teachers through their own transformative yoga and sound healing session on July 17th, setting a harmonious tone for the entire institution.

Over two pivotal days, July 24th and 25th, Sawitri orchestrated four transformative sessions, each welcoming approximately 45-50 children into a realm of mindful play. Her approach is a masterful fusion of intuition and ancient wisdom, deeply rooted in the Kundalini Tantra Yoga tradition developed by her father, Master Ketut Arsana. Sawitri, as a proud representative of the Santham Bhuana Foundation, is bringing this profound heritage to a wider audience, with a special focus on igniting its spark in the hearts of children.

The school hall pulsed with a joyous energy as these young learners met Sawitri’s dynamic invitation with excitement. Discarding rigid presentations, Sawitri chose to dive directly into the heart of the practice, adapting her guidance to the children’s active nature. Remarkably, amidst the delightful effervescence, a profound focus emerged. As Sawitri guided them, the children found unexpected centers and engaged in a vibrant dialogue of body, breath, and pure presence. Their unbridled joy was a powerful testament to a program designed for their minds and their spirits.

This groundbreaking orientation marks a bold declaration from Genta Saraswati Bilingual and Montessori Primary School: education here transcends textbooks. By integrating holistic practices like yoga and sound healing from day one, the school is cultivating not just intellect, but also emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and an inner calm that will serve them for a lifetime. It’s a profound investment in the complete child, preparing them not merely for the curriculum ahead, but for the intricate dance of life itself. ***
