To foster health, mindfulness, and holistic well-being, Podar World School, Sherkhi, celebrated the 12th International Day of Yoga with immense enthusiasm and spiritual fervour during a special morning assembly. The school ground transformed into a vibrant hub of positive energy as the entire school community with our respected Principal Ms Preeta Pillai and students, teachers united to honour this ancient Indian tradition. The celebrations commenced early in the morning with everyone gathering on the ground, rolling out their yoga mats under the open sky.
Guided seamlessly by the school's educator, the morning assembly set a serene tone for the day. Students and staff alike diligently followed instructions, engaging in an initial series of warm-up exercises that included focused neck, shoulder, trunk, and knee movements. This initial routine beautifully prepared everyone's body and mind for the immersive session ahead.
The energy of the morning reached its peak as the school honoured and welcomed its distinguished guest and expert Yoga Instructor, Dr. Sushma Vishwas Kamble. Rather than just addressing the gathering from the podium, Dr. Kamble took to the mat to lead by example, sharing inspiring insights on this year's global theme and the power of yoga in cultivating a healthy, balanced life. She demonstrated each posture with grace and precision. Under her expert guidance, the entire gathering—from the youngest learners to the senior faculty and Principal Ma'am—actively performed a comprehensive sequence of asanas, including Tadasana, Vrikshasana, Trikonasana, and Ardha Chakrasana. Vajrasana, Dandasana, Bhadrasana, Titli Asana and Shashankasana. The synchronized movements across the entire ground created a beautiful spectacle of collective wellness and focused dedication. Following the physical postures, Dr. Kamble transitioned the session into deep mental rejuvenation. The campus fell into a profound silence as everyone participated in Pranayama (breathing exercises) and a calming meditation session. This was accompanied by positive affirmations that reinforced mental strength and clarity.
The rejuvenating morning concluded on a deeply tranquil note. The entire gathering folded their hands, wrapping up the event with a shared prayer and the solemn chanting of the Shanti Mantra. The powerful vibrations left the campus filled with peace, positivity, and a renewed energy, beautifully reminding everyone that yoga is truly the key to a healthier mind and body.
