International Yoga Day Celebration -2024
This year marks the 10th International Day of Yoga,
celebrated under the theme Yoga for Self and Society. Yoga, a transformative
practice, signifies the harmony of mind and body, the balance between thought
and action, and the unity of restraint. Reflecting this profound message,
International Yoga Day was celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm at Dr.
GSK Matriculation Higher Secondary School on June 21, 2024.
The event began with a melodious prayer song performed by
our students, setting a serene and
harmonious tone for the day. Following the prayer, our Principal - Mr P.Ganesan
delivered an opening speech to warmly welcome the chief guest and all
attendees.
Our Student , Gayathri from Grade XII then delivered an
inspiring English speech on the significance of yoga and its global impact. Her
articulate and insightful words highlighted how yoga transcends cultural
boundaries and creates global unity. This was followed by a heartfelt Tamil
speech by Abirami from Grade XI, emphasizing the numerous benefits of yoga for
both physical and mental well-being.
The chief guest, Mr. S. Sabapathi, was felicitated by our
Principal with a memento as a token of appreciation for his presence and
contribution to the field of yoga. Mr. Sabapathis special address captivated
the audience as he shared his valuable insights and experiences in yoga,
inspiring many.
A highlight of the event was the interactive yoga session

and asanas in both sitting and standing postures. This session, held in the
assembly playground, engaged students from Grades 7 and 8 and lasted for an
hour, providing them with practical experience and deeper understanding of yoga
practices.
