Yoga is the journey of the self, to the self, through the self
Yoga day and World Music Day celebrations were held at Podar World School, Sherkhi on June 21. Paying a musical tribute on the occasion of World Music Day, a mesmerizing prayer medley was performed by the students, which was followed by Onkar shloka. Principal Ms. Preeta Pillai shared the importance of yoga and music in the life of students by explaining how one who performs yoga regularly is said to achieve a perfect balance between mind and body and is capable of coping up with stress. It is a holy grail for humans and has magical effects on its disciples. Music, on the other hand, is the very basis of one’s culture and individuality; it gives meaning to life and moreover serves a refreshing medium for humans to take a break from their stressful lives. The entire school participated in various breathing exercises along with Surya Namaskar and other asanas such as Vrikshasana-tree pose, Garudasana-eagle pose, Veerbadrasana-warrier pose, Padmasana-Lotus pose etc. A soft melodious music was played throughout the session for better concentration and to keep the spirit of music day alive. The event was a huge success as it helped promote the practice of yoga and spread awareness about its physical and mental well-being. All the students were refreshed and energized.
