International Yoga Day - 2020

The International Yoga Day (IYD) was
celebrated worldwide to make people aware
of the benefits of Yoga. The theme for this year
(IYD – 2020) was “Global Health: Stay at
Home”. As the whole world is being affected
by the Covid-19 pandemic, to keep people
safe and to contain the spread of the Covid-19
disease it was decided to stay at home.
This year, our School celebrated International
Yoga Day online – Live. Around 17 students
took part. Each of them demonstrated different
Asanas (postures) along with their benefits.
The word ‘Yoga” means Union of Body, Mind
and Soul. Therefore, by practicing Yogasana
and Pranayama one can stay healthy, youthful
and stress-free.
