Since its inception in the year 2015, June 21st is celebrated as The International Day of Yoga all over the world. This idea was proposed by our Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. He said, “Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; 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 the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in wellbeing.”
International Yoga Day was celebrated by SUDHA Society with great enthusiasm. Yoga Instructor- D. R. Sharma was honoured by Mr. Parveen Chandra, Senior Social Worker in presence of residents of Sector 46. Also, Letter of Honour was presented to Mr. D. R. Sharma for his years of services rendered to Yoga.
