As part of the 11th International day of yoga on 21st June 2025, the Ministry of Tourism invited us to a Yoga Demonstration held at Bolgatty Palace Event Centre.
10 NSS volunteers along with Ms. Reshmi went for the same as part of the Yuva Tourism Club. As soon as we arrived we were given yoga mats as well as t-shirts. The program began shortly after 6.00 am with a welcome address delivered by the Hon. MoS for Tourism, Petroleum and Natural Gas – Shri. Suresh Gopi . It was followed by a live telecast of Hon’ble Prime Minister’s address- he spoke of how in this restless and instable world yoga will give one a sense of direction. He spoke of how this yoga day should be the beginning of yoga for humanity 2.0, where inner peace becomes the global policy.
The theme for this year’s international day of yoga is ‘Yoga For One Earth, One Health’, so we had a small yoga session. The instructors demonstrated various poses that helps relax muscles and many breathing exercises. After yoga breakfast was provided. And as a token of appreciation the t-shirts as well as the yoga mat was given to us to take back. Overall it was wonderful and relaxing.
