The St. Joseph’s College
for Women Rangers Team, Visakhapatnam, organized a special event on the
occasion of International Yoga Day on 23rd June 2026 from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM in
the college premises. The program was conducted with the aim of creating awareness
among students about the importance of yoga in maintaining physical, mental,
and emotional well-being. The event consisted of a guest lecture and a
practical yoga session under the theme “Yoga Practice for a Perfect Life.”
The chief resource person
for the event was Ms. Neelapu Pushpa Latha, Yoga Teacher at St. Joseph’s
College for Women (A), Visakhapatnam. She addressed the students on the
significance of yoga in daily life and emphasized how yoga helps in achieving
balance between body and mind. In her lecture, she explained that yoga is not
only a physical exercise but also a discipline that improves concentration,
reduces stress, strengthens immunity, and promotes a healthy lifestyle.
The session began with an
introduction to the importance of International Yoga Day and its global
relevance. Students were informed about how regular yoga practice contributes
to better posture, improved breathing, flexibility, and mental peace. The speaker
encouraged students to develop the habit of practicing yoga every day, even for
a few minutes, to maintain a healthy and active life.
Following the lecture, a
practical demonstration session was conducted in the college courtyard.
Students actively participated with great enthusiasm and performed different
yoga postures under the guidance of the instructor. The session included
warm-up exercises, stretching techniques, breathing exercises, and several
basic yoga asanas. The participants practiced postures focusing on flexibility,
strength, and relaxation.
The group activity
created a positive and energetic atmosphere, and students showed great interest
in learning the techniques. The yoga instructor carefully monitored the
postures and corrected the students wherever necessary, ensuring proper
practice and safety. At the end of the session, a group photograph was taken
with the resource person and the participants as a token of remembrance. The
event concluded with words of gratitude to the guest speaker for her valuable
guidance and encouragement.
The International Yoga
Day celebration was a meaningful and successful event. It helped students
understand the importance of yoga as a way of life and inspired them to include
it in their daily routine.
