Yoga Day

The proposal for an International Day of Yoga was first introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address at the opening of the 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly, where he said that yoga is an invaluable gift from our ancient tradition.
Yoga Day was conducted successfully. Many students took an active part under the guidance of the physical training teachers, in keeping with the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. Students practised many yoga postures, and the teachers explained the importance of each posture and its benefits. The postures included Sirasana, Sarvangasana, Halasana, Matsyasana, Bhujangasana, Salabhasana, Dhanurasana and others.
