On the occasion of the International Yoga Day 2019, Delhi Public School Vasant Vihar sent out messages to its parent body and staff members welcoming them at school to celebrate the event.
Teachers, support staff, parents and students gathered in the school greens on a bright sunny morning of June 21, 2019 to perform yoga. They were taught different asanas and breathing exercises which helped them to focus on different body parts to build stamina and increase their concentration span. Meditation and the resonance of the divine ‘Om’ created an aura of calmness and positivity. The beauty of the event can never be fully expressed in words.

“The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.”
– B. K.S Iyengar
International Day of Yoga declared unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly, is celebrated annually on 21 June since its inception in 2015. Our Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi in his UN address suggested the date of 21 June, as it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Keeping with the spirit of health and fitness, students of classes Prep – V at DPS Vasant Vihar enjoyed a week full of yogic practises just a week prior to the summer vacation, preparing them for the Yoga Day. Approximately 1200 students participated, learned about balancing one’s body and maintaining a correct posture along with meditating for the peace of mind. The students thoroughly enjoyed doing the asanas as they were challenging their limits, and bringing about a sense of achievement when they were able to perfect the aasana. It will surely teach them patience, focus , strength , flexibility and compassion.
