The students of Podar World School, Sherkhi celebrated the International Yoga Day – an initiative by the Modi Government. Yoga is a system of holistic living, having the roots in Indian tradition and culture. It is evolved thousands of years back and its techniques are being widely used for meeting the changing health care needs of mankind.
The ancient practice of Yoga offers a multitude of benefits to modern-day students at almost every grade level. Students may be young but they aren’t immune to stress. Family pressure and academic performance standards can take a toll on the student’s psyche and success in school. Yoga’s combination of breath and movement can help alleviate social and academic stress, clear the mind and soothe cramped bodies jammed in desks and hunched over computers.
The students of Podar World School learned and performed different asanas in various postures. They learnt how to increase the body flexibility with the sequence of sitting, standing and balancing postures. To create the awareness of Yoga and promote its health benefits, a poster with all important asanas was circulated amongst the students and parents.
The students thanked the Principal, Management and the staff members since it was a great experiential learning experience for them.
