International Yoga Day Celebration
On the occasion of International Yoga Day held on 21 June every year, the PTVICSE community gathered on 20 June, 2025 to celebrate the essence of yoga—unity of body, mind, and spirit. The event began with the calming Patanjali Opening Mantra, setting a peaceful tone. Our Principal, Dr Mrs Arnavaz Bhagat welcomed the guest of honour, Mr Nitin Patki, who imparted the importance of control over one’s minds by teaching the students how to achieve it.
Participants then performed Surya Namaskar, a series of 12 powerful yoga poses that energize the body and focus the mind. This was followed by a demonstration of key Asanas, with each posture’s health benefits explained—such as improved flexibility, posture correction, and stress relief.
A special segment introduced various herbs like Tulsi, Ashwagandha, and Turmeric, highlighting their role in boosting immunity and overall wellness, connecting Ayurveda to the yogic lifestyle.
The celebration continued with a lively Yoga Dance, blending movement and mindfulness, showcasing the joy and grace yoga brings. Students then engaged in Yogi Techniques—including Pranayama and meditation—experiencing calmness, focus, and inner balance.
To spread the message of peace, all the students stood in solidarity to recite the Peace Manifesto. The event concluded with the Closing Mantra, leaving students refreshed and inspired. The day served as a powerful reminder of yoga’s timeless benefits and its role in promoting a healthier, more harmonious life.
