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.

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.
