“Yoga is not for only one – it’s for everyone, Yoga is not for a day- it’s for everyday.”

International Yoga Day is observed every year on 21, June to raise awareness about this ancient practice and to celebrate the physical and spiritual skill that yoga has brought to the world. Yoga is a practice which plays an important role in relaxing the mind and body and boosting people’s immune system.

Today, Delhi Public School Hathras celebrated International Yoga Day. It was attended by the Principal, Estate Officer, Staff members and students of Pavna Cricket Academy.

Warm up exercises alongwith yoga postures and importance of these were explained. The celebration concluded with the speech by our Principal, Ms. Neena Chaku. She encouraged all the participants to practice regular yoga to remain fit and improve concentration and further she said the human body is made up of trillion of cells. For the poisons to be burnt and fresh room to be created, each cell has to receive more oxygen. As a result, each cell is given a boost of new energy. We are revitalized when this occurs in our bodies. We become completely aware and the right synchronization of the body and mind occurs when the trillions of cells in our body are activated.
