The Yoga week celebration commenced in NKG Mankhurd on 21 June 2021 – the International Yoga Day. Despite students having their school vacation NKG Mankhurd commenced the celebration by sending videos to students showing ways to carry out various Yogasans. It is imperative to mention that these videos were prepared in-house wherein the teachers performed Yoga and disseminated the importance of Yoga. The videos prepared by teachers were later edited and shared in student’s E-mail IDs. The parents were given instructions to make their wards practice Yoga on a daily basis at home emphasizing the concept of ‘Yoga at home with family’. Further, as the online classes resumed on 24th June, the students, teachers and parents together performed yoga from their respective homes. The teachers gave an insight on the following Yogasans –
• Pranayam
• Vajrasan
• Tadasan
• Trikonasan
• Savasan
The students as well as the parents were sensitised on the key aspects of following correct yoga practices viz –
• Practice it preferably in the morning.
• Perform preferably in an empty stomach.
• Adhere to correct postures.
• Adhere to correct breathing pattern.
The students were also made to understand the benefits of performing various Yogasans. As culmination of the week-long celebration, on 25th June the students along with teachers took an oath to practice yoga daily so as to lead a healthy and happy life.
