INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY

HFSI CAIE PRIMARY - INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY

Yoga offers a sanctuary of calm, enabling us to navigate life's challenges with calm and fortitude – Shri Narendra Modi

Over the years, Yoga has become a global event. India’s culture, its spirituality and vision has always nurtured traditions that unite and embrace. Connecting with the consciousness of our civilization, HFSI Powai, Mumbai celebrated the 10th International Yoga Day on 21st June 2024 in the school multipurpose hall.

This session conducted by the Sports team began with simple warm up exercises that brought a wave of enthusiasm in the learners. Learners from CAIE Primary grades 1 to 5 learnt various standing and sitting aasanas demonstrated by the instructors. Along with getting to know the importance of each aasana, they felt rejuvenated while performing them and the atmosphere was filled with positivity and calmness. Important aasanas like ‘Uttanpadasana’ and ‘padmasana’ were introduced to and practiced by learners, together. They were astonished to know how aasanas can help them increase their focus so easily with continuous practice. The ‘triangle pose’ performed by the learners were the highlight of the day.

Yoga helps in improving flexibility, concentration, strength and balance. This session was an attempt to celebrate the global spirit of Yoga and promote healthy lifestyle right from a young age. With a pledge of inculcating the elements of Yoga in their daily life, the learners ended the session with a boost in alertness and physical energy.
