International Yoga Day Celebrations


We UMAS family celebrated International Yoga Day with all the seniors at IUVW (International University of Vedic Wellness) from different locations. All were excited to participate in promoting healthy lifestyle patterns that reduce pain and stress from our daily life. With the help of yoga teachers Parna Mazumdar and Gayatri, everyone learned proper yoga techniques. The celebration was held on June 21st, 2023. The International Day of Yoga aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga. The word ‘Yoga’ means to unite. This symbolizes the union of body and consciousness. Yoga is a powerful tool for individuals to improve both mental and physical health irrespective of their age. Yoga has been shown to have immediate psychological benefits, decreasing anxiety and stress, and increasing feelings of emotional and social well-being.
