International Yoga Day is observed every year on June 21 in order to raise awareness about this ancient practice and to celebrate the physical and spiritual prowess that yoga has brought to the world. Yoga is an age-old practice that integrates the body, mind, and soul. It plays an important role in relaxing the mind and body and boosting people’s immune system. We at The Shishukunj International School celebrated International Yoga Day on June 21, 2023, with great enthusiasm. Physical education teachers demonstrated some simple and beginner, standing and sitting asanas which were performed by the students. The benefits of the postures were narrated by the teachers side by side as children performed with the instructions. All the students participated enthusiastically by following the instructions. Students were encouraged to practice regular yoga to remain fit as they showcased a very energetic and spirited performance.
Music amplifies yoga’s transformative effects. With its melodies and rhythmic beats, it uplifts our spirits and helps us concentrate more intensely throughout practice. Celebrating the glorious tradition of World Music Day, students gave a musical performance. The energetic and vivacious performance has ideally reflected the very harmony of music which if once admitted to the soul becomes a sort of spirit and never dies.
The International Yoga Day and the World Music Day was celebrated with great fervour.
