Celebration of International Yoga Day June, 2023
The significance of International Yoga Day is to raise awareness of the many benefits of yoga for physical and mental health. Yoga is a mind-body practice that originated in India thousands of years ago. It combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. Yoga has been shown to improve flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance. It can also help to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Furthermore, the day encourages regular meditation to foster mental clarity and self-awareness, which is essential for thriving in a stress-free environment.
International Yoga Day was celebrated across all the SHIKSHA Initiative schools on 21st June 2023. The day began with the practice of asanas followed by a session on the importance of yoga in our daily lives, especially for students because the daily routine of yoga results in a sharp mind and better clarity. Students and teachers both thoroughly completed the practice and the session after that.
