INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
Yoga is a way of life
Internationally the 21st of June is solely marked to celebrate yoga since 2015 after being birthed in the United Nations General Assembly in the year 2014. Yoga is a mind and body practice that can build strength and flexibility. It may also help manage pain and reduce stress. Various styles of yoga combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation.
Having the origins of Yoga in India, we have adopted it into our lives only after the western influence of the same has increased. This year the theme that was adopted by India “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” a Sanskrit phrase from ancient Indian scriptures that means the whole world is one (my) family.
We as the HGS family came together on this day to adopt the benefits of YOGA in one fell swoop of a Workshop. Having students and teachers participate and practice Yoga, we have taken a pledge to make a conscious effort to make it a daily practice.
The Tranquilizing Session
It was time to roll out our yoga mats and discover the combination of physical and mental exercises that for thousands of years have hooked yoga practitioners around the globe. The beauty of yoga is that you don’t have to be a yogi or yogini to reap the benefits. Whether you are young or old, overweight or fit, yoga has the power to calm the mind and strengthen the body. Not being intimidated by yoga terminology, fancy yoga studios and complicated poses. Yoga is for everyone.
