International Yoga Day 2024

The National Service Scheme (NSS) Unit of Loreto College, Kolkata organised a capacity-building workshop by Isha Yogashala on June 21, 2024 in observance of International Yoga Day. The workshop was conducted by two resource persons, Miss Suprabha and Miss Vayu Putri from Isha Yogashala. The theme of this year’s International Yoga Day was: “Yoga for Self and Society.”

The workshop was divided into two segments. In the first segment, the resource persons discussed the importance of meditation and conducted a 15-minute meditation session for over 110 NSS student volunteers of Semester II and Semester IV. The second segment began with the NSS Volunteers taking the Yoga Pledge. This was followed by a skilful demonstration of various yoga postures or asanas by the resource persons. The workshop enabled the participating students to gain insight into how meditation and yoga could be made an integral part of their daily lives, benefiting them in innumerable ways.
