"YOGA: A JOURNEY TO SELF AND SOCIETY" – INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY 2025

"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self." – Bhagavad Gita

On 21st June 2025, Auxilium Convent School, Baroda, observed International Yoga Day with great enthusiasm. The theme for the year, “Yoga for Self and Society,” reflected the essence of the celebration — promoting harmony within ourselves and with the world around us. 

 The event began with an inspiring address by the sports Captain, who beautifully said, “In our fast-paced, screen-filled lives, yoga is that pause button — a gentle reminder to breathe deeply, live mindfully, and move purposefully.” She encouraged students to embrace yoga not just as a physical practice but as a life philosophy. “Inhale the future, exhale the past,” she quoted, reminding everyone of the importance of mindfulness.

Students participated in a series of yoga demonstrations, showcasing balance, focus, and inner strength. The session was guided by Physical Education teachers Mr. Bharat Patel, Mr. Justin Chauhan, and Ms. Vidhi Rajput, who also shared the numerous benefits of yoga — from improved concentration to emotional well-being.

The celebration ended on a serene note, leaving everyone refreshed and inspired to integrate yoga into their daily routine.

   "Yoga adds years to your life and life to your years."
