Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and
action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-
being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature.
By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well being.
The purpose of International Yoga Day is to promote yoga and endeavor towards making it a part and
parcel of everyone’s daily routine. It was celebrated by the students and teachers at San Academy, Kamakoti
