Recently a series of Yoga
lessons was organized at Sandipani Muni School after the morning
programme. This was based on 8 types of Pranayama and Sukhshma Yoga. The
classes were taken for five days. Raj Kumar Singh, the Yoga Acharya came to
Vrindavan to present these lessons the the children. Raj Kumar works in
conjunction with the famous Ayurveda Company from Haridwar named Patanjali,
founded by Baba Ramdev.
The sessions lasted
approximately 40 min each and dealt with an introduction to Yoga, the benefits
of practicing it and how it helps to prevent and cure ailments such
as asthma, tuberculosis, diabetes, low and high blood pressure and
arthritis, let alone improving meditation and focusing of the mind.
The students
not only received theoretical advice but also practiced various types of
pranayamas (breathing exercises) and yoga exercises guided by Acharya Raj Kumar
who directed the lessons from the school stage.
These kinds of programs and school initiatives have been supported and encouraged by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is a keen Yoga practitioner for many years. Seven classes of students ranging from the 6th to 12th Grade standard took part in the yoga sessions and participated with enthusiasm.
