Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that disciplines the human mind and body and is a holistic approach to good health and wellbeing.

At the school assembly, Mr. Puneet Rastogi, who has completed a 3 month certificate course from Lucknow and is presently pursuing a 1 year Teachers Training course from the world famous ‘The Yoga Institute’ in Santacruz, Mumbai gave the students a short synopsis on Yoga and its benefits. He informed the students that Yoga has its origin in our country India and is practiced over the ages. He imparted knowledge about Yoga as a form of exercise to attain self-peace through meditation and as a way to balance and stabilize the respiratory system, increase blood flow, reduce anxiety, build self-confidence and be totally energized. Also as a medium for cure from illness like stress, blood pressure, insomnia, digestive problems, etc.
