Recognizing the universal appeal of Yoga, owing to its demonstrated benefits for health and towards stress relief, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) proclaimed 21st June as the International Day of Yoga (IDY) on 11th December 2014. On the occasion of International Yoga Day 2023, schools across India have taken this opportunity to make students and parents aware about the rewards that Yoga offers for health and well-being.
Let’s have a look at the vibrant International Day of Yoga celebrations at Unicent School, kompally, Hyderabad
“All this bringing of the mind into a higher state of vibration is included in word is yoga.”
From the past few years the most heard word is YOGA. Doctors are recommending to practice yoga which helps in developing the balance between physical, mental and spiritual states but the earliest usage of the terminology YOGA is in the ancient INDIAN text Rug Veda.
To incorporate the virtuous practice of yoga among the young minds, Unicent School, Kompally conducted a Yoga Fitness Week on the occasion of 9th International Yoga Day emphasizing the theme of the year” Yoga for Vasudhaiva Kutumbham” . Children were elucidated about the significance of Yoga by their peers during the assembly every day. They started it with warm up exercises and gradually progressed to the ashanas like Dhanurashana, Chakrasana etc.
Unicent School organised a guest session on Yoga to educate our pupil about this vigorous practice. They gained an understanding of different Yoga Ashanas like Thadashana, Rukshashana etc. They performed the said Asanas enthusiastically. Essay writing on the topics “Enlightening Fitness of Health and Mind” or “Yoga for Vasudhaiva Kutumbham”and quiz competitions were also conducted as a part of Fitness Week.
The journey through the Fitness Week was concluded with the presentation of various Ashanas in the form of PYRAMID followed by mass Yoga. Our Unicentians took a PLEDGE ON YOGA both on starting and ending days which was also uploaded in the CBSE portal. Our beloved Principal Mrs. Ramadevi enlightened our students about the essence and significance of Yoga and how to make it as a practice which brings light into our lives.
Yoga is not only the part of Fitness Week but every day practice in Unicent School. The entire Yoga Fitness Week is fruitful for our Unicent School. Our students learnt that Yoga is much more than physical activity.
