International Yoga Day was celebrated at Ekya school ITPL to promote and help students understand its significance. Yoga is a mind & body workout with strengthening and stretching poses along with deep breathing techniques to relax the mind and body. Yoga is an invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic approach to health and well-being. The word yoga literally means union.yoga helps to control mind and body.
Our students learnt about the practice of Yoga and its power to heal the entire body. Yoga is the best medicine that any doctor can ever prescribe. Ekya, ITPL organized sessions and special assemblies for the Students to mark the celebrations of world yoga day. Different asanas were performed by children across grades.
