Revive The Spirit !!!!
“One cannot always control what goes on outside, but one can
control what goes on inside.”
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. 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. Yoga is not about exercise but to discover the sense
of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle
and creating consciousness, it can help in wellbeing.
Witty International School took the
initiative of organizing one such live Facebook Webinar on Yoga for the
students of grades VI to IGCSE I on the 20th June. Ms Navmeet Kaur Ajmani, a well-known
yoga trainer, associated with Pinkathon started the session with warm up
exercises followed by the Omkar mantra. Various asanas such as
Garudasana, Chakrasana, Vrikshasana and Trikonasana were demonstrated and
benefits of these asanas were explained. Lighter exercises related to the eyes,
nose, jaws, shoulder blades and hips were also taught. The celebration
concluded with synchronized recitation of shlokas.
Principal Bijo Kurian encouraged
students to practice the Asanas regularly to remain
fit and improve concentration. He commented, “Yoga plays a significant role especially during the world crisis of
Covid -19 as yoga boosts our immunity and is known to cure respiratory
disorders.”
Regular practice of yoga will surely help our students achieve a
better life, physically, mentally and spiritually.
