International Yoga Day

“Yoga is a skill in action”-The Bhagavad Gita.

“Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness; increases body awareness; relieves chronic stress patterns; relaxes the mind; centers attention; and sharpens concentration,” says Dr. Nevins. The benefits of Yoga are so profound that today, the entire world recognizes and practices this ancient form of exercise to promote health and wellbeing of individuals in society.

NPS International, Mysore celebrated the International Yoga Day on 21 June 2022. A special assembly was organized to mark the importance of ‘Yoga for Humanity’ this year. The session commenced with the ‘Om’ chant followed by the well-known surya-namaskara. This was followed by students performing various asanas. The benefit of each asana was highlighted as the students stretched and moved. A group of students from classes 6-12, put up a wonderful display of human pyramids.
