Yoga
Day
At
Witty International School, Pawan Baug, we recognize the imperative of
imparting an educational experience that is world-class in every respect and
which prepares children for global citizenship. It has always been instrumental
in holding various health programmes. Apart from all other sport activities,
yoga has also been a part of the school curriculum.
Since its inception in the year 2015, June 21st is
celebrated as The International Day of Yoga all over the world. This idea was
proposed by our Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. He said, “Yoga is an
invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and
body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and
nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise
but to discover the sense of oneness with you, the world and the nature. By
changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well being.”
Renowned
Yoga Gurus, Mrs Ravinder Kaur and Mrs Jasmeet Kaur from Yogazoo and Mr Vignesh
Thakkar and team from Maharishi Patanjali Yog Mandal conducted the Yoga Day
Programme in Witty International School, Pawan Baug wherein students had the
opportunity to practice multiple styles of Yoga including Kundalini Yoga, Power
Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar Yoga and Kriya Yoga. The programme explored the eight
limbs of Yoga and how they apply to our lives. In the present
day when students face stress, tension, fear, etc, simple asanas can help
dispel these.
The
session included prayer, meditation, games, c̣ālana
kriyas ,various yogasanas like tādāsana, vruḳ-
sasana, pada-hastasana, ardha cạkrasana, trikoṇasana
, bhadrasana, śasankasana, vakrasana and many more Many young and
enthusiastic students bent and twisted their bodies in complex postures during
the event. An insight into developing and enhancing a better life style was
preached and practiced through the session which ended with a harmonious and
peaceful meditation.
"It's equally important to serve
the brain with spiritual knowledge and practices as one cannot apply the
knowledge gained from education without the right sense of mind. There are
meditation practices involved in yoga because of which both the conscious and
subconscious segments of the brain can be benefitted. It's important to
practice overall yoga exercises in order to get the full benefit from it,"
added Mrs Ravinder Kaur.
As
quoted by our Principal Mr. Bijo Kurian “Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or
discipline which has been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian traditions, in India. As Yoga has techniques of controlling the
body and the mind; it becomes a disciplined method for students to improve
concentration for attainment of goal. Apart from the spiritual goals, such
kind of sessions helps the students to alleviate health problems and reduce
stress.”
