Greetings everyone,
As we all know, yoga has not only been a part of India but has now become an international phenomenon, celebrated and practiced all over the world. Yoga is beneficial for both our physical and mental health. It has been said that yoga and pranayama are like a bridge between the head and the heart.
The Yoga Day is observed worldwide on 21 June. On this occasion, the Department of English students celebrated the 10th International Yoga Day. The theme of the 10th International Yoga Day is,
"Yoga for Self and Society"
We performed various asanas, pranayama, and surya namaskara during the yoga session. Only a few students could attend the Yoga Day celebration due to the vacation period and commuting problems.
Before the Yoga Day celebration, we also had a four-day yoga practice workshop in the department, during which we learned many asanas and pranayamas. It is important to perform these asanas correctly otherwise, they can have negative effects on the body. Thanks to Dhatri Parmar and Pallavi Parmar, we learned how to perform certain asanas properly.
Today, we celebrated Yoga Day, starting with a soothing prayer, followed by a warm-up exercise. The whole session was commendably anchored by Riya Bhatt, with demonstrations given by Dhatri and Pallavi. We performed standing, sitting, and prone asanas, ending with pranayama.
The session concluded with a speech by Barad Sir, in which he emphasized the benefits of doing yoga every day rather than being an annual yogic. Moreover, Sir elaborated on the theme of Yoga Day, explaining how being unhealthy and lethargic can consume other people's valuable time, and how one can promote a healthy society by being physically and mentally fit and strong.
At the end of the session, we had healthy snacks.
