THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The New Indian Express, in association with Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Vazhuthacaud, and Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya organised Yoga Day celebrations at Chinmaya Vidyalaya on Wednesday.

The event commenced with a prayer by Bhavapriya. Sister Anjali and Sister Vedavathi of the Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya were the guests. As many as 40 students from Classes IX and X attended the Yoga sessions from 1 pm to 2 pm. “Every human being has goodness within himself and it is possible for everyone to deal with the negativities inside themselves. It is only a matter of discovering ourselves. This is what meditation helps us do,” Sister Anjali told students. 

She explained the different methods of meditation which can help in boosting self-confidence and stay positive. She advised students not to keep negative feelings towards others. The students practised meditation for five minutes, which was followed by a Yoga practise session under the guidance of Yoga teacher Devi S Nair. Principal Deepa R Nair was also present. 

Amritha of Class X said it was an inspiring experience and helped her think about ways to explore happiness. Other students also gave positive feedback on the event.
