Virtual Zumba 2020-21

Podar World School takes charge of their student’s and family’s health & fitness

In this pandemic, days are passing with perturbation & distress, where isolation has become indolence. To fight COVID 19 everyone across the globe is taking precautions by staying at home and maintaining social distancing. But as we know every coin has two sides, staying home and isolating has brought out a huge wave of laziness and people turning into couch potatoes. The human body and brain is designed for daily physical activity, and the ill effects of inactivity are becoming clearly visible in people across the globe.

PODAR WORLD SCHOOL, part of a group which is contributing to education and nation building since 1927 believes in making a positive difference in the lives of the 10000’s of children and families with them.

Their most recent launch is that of Virtual Zumba not only for their students, but also for their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles – who may be in the same house, or living on another continent. Podar, which believes in taking care of their entire family of students as well as their parents are a step ahead of what traditional schools care about. Their live Zumba sessions have been a massive hit with their parents and teachers, with over a 1000 logging in per session to enjoy the dancing exercises.

Mr. Raghav Podar - Chairman of Podar Education says that “having Zumba sessions with our children and extended families recharges each of our brain’s batteries, letting our body release good hormones like Dopamine & Endorphins, which not only kill stress and negativity, but also brings waves of self-confidence, energy, focus and mental clarity. As Holistic Development Educationists, we take these things as our responsibility. Children learn best on their feet, and not on their seats”

Apart from running online classes for its students for academics as well as physical fitness, Podar is following the footsteps of the Founder President of their Trust, Mahatma Gandhi, by contributing a lot in society by helping the less fortunate. More than 1200 meals are being cooked by them every day for the poor, over and above the 1000’s of kilos of food grains being donated to the slum dwellers.

They truly imbibe the saying “Be the change you wish to see in the world”
