Faridabad/Alive News : ‘Yoga is the journey of the self, to the self and through the self.’ With a firm belief in the adage ‘A sound mind resides in a sound body’, DAV Public school NH-3 celebrated 9th “International Yoga Day” on 21 June 2023in the school premises. It was an effort to spread the message of PM Narendra Modi to keep India fit by incorporating yoga in our daily life. DAV NH-3 aptly plays a role of holistic health coach in the life of its students by promoting mental well-being along with physical fitness.
The program was organised by the Physical Education Department of the school under the astute guidance of the Principal, Ms Jyoti Dahiya with great gusto. The day commenced with a warm up session by Mr Ravi Chaudhary. A sneak peak into the history of yoga was given by him. Ms. Sumedha delved into sharing some interesting facts about yoga which was followed by performing several standing and sitting asanas, like Vrikshasana, Tadasana, Vajrasana, Bhadrasana, Bhujangasana, makarasana etc. in a medley of formations.
The boundless peace of doing the asanas was thoroughly visible right from everyone’s faces. Growing up in a world so competitive, it would have been incomplete to end the session without recharging the body, mind and soul through meditation that included Anulom vilom, Kapalbhati, Sheetali, Bhramri and Dhyan.
Addressing the students, the Principal, Ms.Jyoti Dahiya emphasised upon the magical role that Yoga can play in a stressful modern lifestyle. She reiterated that a healthy mind always goes parallel with a healthy body, so one should never cease to practice yoga and meditation in life.
