As part of Amruthavarshini Yoga Dinacharane, a yoga awareness and education event was held at Vijnanashram School for children, focusing on the scientific and physical benefits of yoga.

The program was conducted by Chaitanya Yoga Education and Research Foundation, with the support of yoga expert Dr. B.P. Munish, who led the session.

Dr. Munish emphasized:

“Through scientific yoga practice, we can enhance both physical and mental well-being. Yoga improves emotional control, concentration, and the ability to lead a disciplined life.”

He added that:

“If yoga is practiced regularly from childhood, children will gain confidence, health, and a sense of responsibility.”

Dr. Munish conducted different yoga techniques and explained their physical and mental benefits to the students. He also gave insights into the yogic approach to stress management, lifestyle diseases, and daily health improvement.

The event ended with a group photo featuring students and faculty members.

A hearty and nourishing take on the classic uttapam, Bajrika brings together the earthiness of bajra (pearl millet) with the crunch of white sesame, the freshness of coriander, and a gentle kick of black pepper and ginger.
