CELEBRATION
OF INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY
Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient
tradition. It is an art and science for healthy living. Yoga is essentially a
spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science which focuses on
bringing harmony between mind and body; thought and action; restraint and
fulfillment; man
and nature; a
holistic approach to health and well-being. It uses various postures, exercises, mantras, and
meditation that enhances the thoughts and changes the mindset of the person
adopting it. It overall makes us more positive, energetic, happy, and effective
and increases self-control.
The theme for International Yoga Day 2024 is
"Yoga for Self and Society." This theme emphasizes the two-fold
benefits of yoga practice: enhancing personal well-being and fostering a more
positive and harmonious society.
In order to serve the benefits of yoga to our students and with a view
to celebrate the ‘International Yoga Day’ the school had organised a ‘Yoga Training Programme’ in the school
campus. Since we had days with consistent high temperature this June month we
could not practice for the celebration of the International Yoga Day on 21
June. Hence the yoga practice sessions were started from Monday, 10 June 2024
to 26 July 2024.
The
Yoga training sessions
were conducted by the yoga trainer, Mr. Krishna Reddy for the students of classes VI to IX. The
training sessions included the yoga techniques of pranayama like Bhramari
Pranayama and Kapalbhati Pranayama; aasanas like Tadasana, Trikonasana, Pavana Muktasana and
also a comprehensive exercise form of
Surya Namaskara.
On 27
July 2024 between 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the 10th International Day
of Yoga was celebrated with enough confidence and spirit energised by the yoga
training sessions. The programme excited and motivated everyone in spreading awareness and
also to set
a platform for their future involvement in Yoga for
a healthy living.
