International Yoga Day celebration at Podar World School, Sherkhi, Vadodara.
On 21st June 2016, ‘International Yoga Day’ was celebrated with great enthusiasm in the Podar World School campus. Students from classes I to XI in their sports uniform, led by their respective class teachers. The students were explained about the significance of the day and the stature that the Central Government has given for ‘Yoga’ as a Physique building activity. The importance of the day lay in its physical aspect rather than in glorifying the day using words.
The arena was then open for the ever sprightful Instructor Mr. Ashish Jha and for the lady instructor Ms. Kanchan Ingle. The day began with ‘Brain Yoga’, a technique used to re-energize one and which is very commonly practiced in classrooms both in India and abroad. Brain Yoga was followed by some light Asans and breathing exercises like Pranayam which were religiously performed with great precision by all present. The weather was pleasant and the cool and fresh morning wind kept the spirit of the demonstrators high and it was indeed a great stress booster for each and everyone present there.
Thanks to the Principal Ms. Preeta Pillai and especially the Chairman Shri Raghav Podar for being so democratic and harmonious with the ideals of the nation and for upholding the proud legacy of Podar through such thoughtful and constructive endeavors that can have far reaching fruitful consequences.
