On Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2010, a Yoga session was organised in Conference Hall in first and second period where Yoga expert from “SPIC MACAY”, Ms. Pratishtha Sharma revealed to the students of class XB that what yoga does is harmonize the mind with the body and this results in real quantum benefits. It is now an open secret that the will of the mind has enabled people to achieve extraordinary physical feats, which proves beyond doubt the mind and body connection.

Yoga through meditation works remarkably to achieve this harmony and helps the mind work in sync with the body. In fact yoga = meditation, because both work together in achieving the common goal of unity of mind, body and spirit – a state of eternal bliss.

The meditative practices through yoga help in achieving an emotional balance through detachment. What it means is that meditation creates conditions, where you are not affected by the happenings around you. This in turn creates a remarkable calmness and a positive outlook,
which also has tremendous benefits on the physical health of the body.

These are just some of the tangible benefits that can be achieved through yoga. The most important benefit of yoga is physical and mental therapy. To get the maximum benefits of yoga one has to combine the practices of yogasanas, pranayama and meditation. Students were enthusiastic and interacted with the expert . They promised to control their anger and are looking forward to add to their knowledge in the next sessions.
