International Yoga Day 2021: Connecting the body, mind and soul.

"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self." - The Bhagavad Gita 

Yoga is the art which focuses on bringing harmony between the mind and body. It allows you to get one step closer to a healthy living. 

The practice of Yoga has several benefits like reducing the levels of stress and body-wide inflammation. It helps improve strength, balance and flexibility. 

This time we are celebrating International Yoga Day from the comforts of our homes. Let us help you look on the inside and reconnect with your inner peace from the luxury of being at home. International Day of Yoga (IDY), Yoga day or Antarashtriya Yog Divas is an annual event celebrated all over the world on 21st June, since its inception in 2015. 

SYNC, the Fitness Club of H.R. College organizes an engaging 3-day workshop for the celebrations. Given the current situation this year, the celebration will take place from home. International Yoga Day is the flagship event of SYNC. Every year IDY is celebrated with more and more enthusiasm by students, teachers and the non-teaching staff of H.R. College of Commerce and Economics.

 

On this International Yoga Day, we have a line-up of blissful yoga sessions conducted by instructor 'Sumit Chadha' from Kaivalyadhama, who will look to energize, rejuvenate and engage students from home to help them during these tough times. The theme for the International Yoga Day is "𝐁𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐠𝐚, 𝐁𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞"

 

During this ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, being confined at home for such a long time due to work from home and online lectures can be mentally challenging for us. When we are all bound to live a restricted life under the constant fear of infection risks, it is natural for anyone to develop anxiety. The continuous flow of negative news, the inadequacy of daily resources, it adds up to growing anxiety and depression amongst us. 

When our mind is flooded with the uncertainty of the future, we often experience sleepless nights causing fatigue. Many of us are unable to relax our mind during this time thereby increasing the stress on our mind.

Yoga aasanas and meditation can play a vital role for our healing; the practice of Yoga can help boost our immunity. Kaivalyadhama is one of the best oldest, most traditional and scientific yogic health centres world-over, allowing practitioners to experience Yoga holistically. 

One of the most unique concepts that the centre has been following over the years is Yoga under medical supervision. As per this feature, registered doctors check each member before assigning them a customised Yoga program. Thus the 'Consultation+therapy' concept is followed.

Every year a yoga instructor from Kaivalyadhama conducts this workshop for SYNC. To honour our event, we are pleased to have Mr Balram Talreja grace the celebration. Our esteemed guest is a Yoga Teacher, Health Consultant, Counsellor, Motivational Speaker and Life Coach with over 28 years of experience in the field. He has successfully conducted more than 16,000 Yoga classes.

Yoga has proven to be very helpful in these tough times, why not kick-start your journey today? The practice of Yoga brings us face to face with the extraordinary complexity of our own being. In yoga the pose begins, when you are ready to leave your comfort zone! Join SYNC in its celebrations on 21st June and reconnect to your mind, body and soul!
