The International Yoga Week was held from 21 June 2021 to 26 June 2021 to promote the positive and

healthy lifestyle that yoga can provide for physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

During the week, students were introduced to the history and benefits of yoga, and participated in a
variety of activities to deepen their understanding and practice of the discipline. This included a yoga

prayer and warm-up, demonstrations and practice of standing and sitting asanas, and a cool-down
session that included stretching and meditation.

Many students already had prior experience with yoga and were able to perform the asanas with ease

and enjoyment, while others were introduced to new asanas and learned about their benefits. The week
also included interactive activities such as Kahoot quizzes and yoga puzzles to engage students and keep
them interested.

Physical Education teachers also encouraged students to practice yoga every other day and make videos
of their practice with their families to be shared on the International Day of Yoga on 21st June. On 23
June 2021, a special assembly was organised for students to showcase their recorded yoga performances.
