International Yoga Day

Celebrated on 21st June, organised by cummulative efforts of Yogen and Sports club of IISER Pune. 

First, we had demonstration of various Yoga Asanas by professionals, followed by Zumba and prize distribution to wines of various yoga-related competitions organized at the Institute.  

The International Day of Yoga aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga. The practice of Yoga brings joy, health, peace from within and deepens a sense of connection between an individual's inner consciousness and the external world. Yoga is more than a physical activity. In the words of one of its most famous practitioners, the late B. K. S. Iyengar, “Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one’s actions.”
