Jalandhar, June 21, 2016: As the entire world celebrated International Day of Yoga on June 21, it was also organised in Apeejay Institute of Management Technical Campus to acquaint the students and faculty members about the immense benefits of practicing yoga.
The faculty members practiced basic yoga asanas like Sun Salutation, (Surya Namaskar) Crescent Moon Anjaneyasana), Half- Boat Posture (Ardha Navasana), Child’s Pose, Arm-Pressing Posture, Cat Pose, Downward Facing Dog Pose (Adho Mukh Savasana) , Lotus Pose (Padamasana). The health benefits of these poses were also explained to the audience. The faculty members expressed that practicing yoga leads to an increased feeling of well-being, which helps explain why so many people find yoga so addictive. Many times its benefits are only perceived to be at the body level but yoga helps tremendously in uniting the body, mind and breath.
Dr. Rajesh Bagga, Director, Apeejay Institute of Management Technical Campus expressed that real education means holistic development of students - physical, intellectual, spiritual, mental. He added that a healthy mind lives in a healthy body. The physical well-being of individuals is equally important. So, such events are a regular part of the co-curricular activities in the institution.
