DPS International on Sunday, 23rd of June 2024 held a yoga session in the school’s auditorium where people of different ages ranging from kids to adults showed up to participate in yoga to commemorate the 10th edition of the International Day of Yoga themed, “Yoga for Self and Society.” 

Yoga, a transformative practice, represents the harmony of mind and body, the balance between thought and action, and the unity of restraint and fulfilment. It integrates the body, mind, spirit, and soul, offering a holistic approach to health and well-being that brings peace to our hectic lives.

Today, it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognising its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed the 21st of June as the International Day of Yoga.

DPSI and B5 plus came together to participate in yoga activities at the school’s auditorium. Present at the event was the Director of the school, Mr. Mukesh Thakwani, who also participated in the yoga activity alongside his family, teachers and students of DPS, employees of B5 steel company and others.

During an interview at the end of the yoga session, Mr. Mukesh Thakwani talked about the importance of yoga and the benefits of practicing yoga. When asked about the promotion of yoga, he stated that yoga isn’t a common practice in this part of the world yet he encouraged everyone to participate in yoga activities. He also stated that the practice of yoga will be included in the DPSI curriculum so that students can participate in yoga activities regularly and not just on the day marked as the International day of Yoga.
