The Children Wing of Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust observed International Yoga Day on June 19 at the community hall with the intention of inculcating the importance of healthy living among children. With the importance of yoga and its benefits being recognized around the world, Bhartiya Samaj endeavors to introduce this art of healthy living to the younger generation as well.
Yoga is a 5,000-year-old physical, mental, and spiritual practice and is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action, restraint and fulfilment, and harmony between man and nature. It is a holistic approach to health and well-being.
Various yoga asanas were exhibited to educate children on the exercising art developed by the ancient saints. Yoga expert volunteer Ms Apoorva demonstrated the asanas in a fun way for the children. The organisation believes that learning would be sustainable when it is accompanied with fun; it serves a dual purpose. Yoga becomes a part of the routine for children who start practising it from a young age. Children with healthier lifestyle would undoubtedly have an influence on the society’s future.
