GIIS Tokyo Kindergarten campus celebrated International Yoga Day on 21st June 2023.

A special yoga session was held to celebrate this day where the teachers enlightened children about the importance of Yoga and meditation in their lives.  We learnt that Yoga could help maintain a balance between mind, body and bring peace. Yoga can play an important role in a stressful modern lifestyle. The mindful practice that comes with Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; 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 nature. Changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well-being.

Students were taught that doing yoga keeps the body fit and healthy.  Thereafter, the students and faculty performed many ‘Yogasanas’/Yoga poses.

It was a treat to watch each student perform yoga for a healthy body and mind.  The entire area reverberated with the soft and melodious chanting of shlokas and divine music while the children performed the ‘asanas.’
