Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition which originated in India. 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 yourself, the world, and nature.
The idea of International Day of Yoga was first proposed by our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), on 27 September 2014. The International Day of Yoga has been celebrated annually on 21 June since 2015, following its inception in the United Nations General Assembly in 2014.
On the occasion of the seventh edition of the International Yoga Day i.e. 21st June 2021, GEMS International School had organized a webinar for students and parents. Everyone participated enthusiastically in the webinar.
Ms. Bharti Yadav, the physical instructor demonstrated different important asanas like Chandra Asana and their importance simultaneously. The students were encouraged to practice regular yoga and make that an important part of their lives.
In addition to this, World Music Day was also celebrated as it falls on the same day to encourage both amateur and professional musicians to perform. The students too tried to bring some music to the mundane lives of the individuals.
It is also known to reduce stress, anxiety and increase focus, which is something that describes yoga as well, so it is not a wonder that both World Music Day and the International Day of Yoga fall on the same day.
