“Yoga is the journey of the self, to the self , through the self.”
He chose this day because this is the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere and has great significance in many parts of the world. The theme for International Yoga Day 2024 is 'Yoga for Self and Society’. Every year, International Yoga Day has a different theme.
Yoga is a form of meditation which makes people's lives better holistically. It attempts to promote physical and mental fitness for the mind, body, and soul. It also revitalises our bodies and fosters tranquillity.
Yoga helps in controlling our emotions. But the most undervalued benefit of Yoga is fitness. It increases our flexibility, perfects posture, builds muscle strength and tone, increases blood flow, drops high blood pressure, helps weight loss, improves balance, reduces back pain and maintains a balanced metabolism in our body.
Yoga is a whole way of life that strengthens and improves physical and mental health. It is not just a kind of exercise. It instils discipline, values, love, and respect for one's body. Through yoga, individuals become more self-aware, compassionate, and socially responsible. It is a day to celebrate the transformative power of yoga and its potential to create a more peaceful world.
Yoga has many benefits for students. It ameliorates their memory, concentration, academic performance, physical and mental health and tapers stress, eye strain and headaches.
Our school also observed this day with great zeal and zest. One of our students Ms. Nishta Joshi delivered a speech on the importance of Yoga in our lives. On this occasion our school was host to two invitees. Ms. Rachna Balapurkar and Ms. Sapna Patel.
Ms. Sapna holds a P.hd from Saurashtra University. She has participated in innumerable sports activities and engaged in social work conjointly. Our faculties and students performed various Yoga asanas under the guidance of our esteemed guests.
Yoga, an interminable practice provides a path to well-being and acquiring inner peace. Embrace yoga’s wisdom for a healthier, balanced life.
