Mount Columbus School Organised Free yoga session for students as well as teachers. In this Yoga for All - Students and Teachers both participated enthusiastically. The International Yoga Day was celebrated on 20th June 2021. MCS held a virtual yoga session for teachers and students. This year's theme for world yoga day was “Staying fit at home". This was an excellent theme since due to the covid situation, gatherings and celebrations were not possible. Our yoga teacher, Mr. Pawan helped everyone understand the importance of yoga in daily life. Yoga plays a significant role since it helps people lead a better life with elevated physical, mental and spiritual health. Our school yoga education teacher showed us the surya namaskar. The main aim was to promote good health. Other than yoga, physical workout like freehand exercises and aerobics are also an integral part of our school. This keeps our children and teachers active, energetic, enthusiastic and ready to face the challenges each and every day.
