We began with a Yoga lesson. After an hour of intensive physical activity we all felt warm. Avital coached us in the basic Yoga postures and the passage between them.
In the English lesson we learned the body parts and words of possession and finished by learning a song. We practiced the uses of the verb To Have in the present tense, in sentences which included the names of the body parts.
We read…..
Jamie, the Yoga teacher joined the shift, after the village head asked us to try and find a man who would teach the village boys. In a conversation today between Jamie and the village head it was agreed that the Yoga learning group would be established, and that the activity would integrate English and Yoga studies.

Jurish
An ancient village, of which 62% of the lands were defined after the 1995 agreements as Area B, while the remaining 38% Area C. Israel confiscated 17 dunams of the village's land for the construction of the Israeli Migdalim settlement, in addition to expropriating land for Road 505. In mid-2016, a road was blocked by the IDF (partly paved by the Palestinian Authority) that connected Jurish to Road 505. This is the shortest way to get to Jurish from the main road, without bypassing another 6.5 km through Qusra.
From 2014 to mid-2016, volunteers from the Watch checkpoint in the village held English, yoga and Hebrew classes for girls.
