The Physical Education Section of the Institute also organised two interactive sessions on ‘Relevance of Yoga in Everyday Life’ by Prof Nitin Padhiyar, Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering, IITGN, and Mr Hemant Shah, independent Yoga instructor.

Prof Nitin Padhiyar introduced the participants to Ashtanga Yoga from the Yoga Sutra of Rishi Patanjali. He also gave a brief idea of Shad Darshan. Mr Hemant Shah explained how one could do holistic yoga asana in ten minutes in the current fast-paced life through Surya Namaskara, followed by some pranayama and meditation. Both the speakers exhorted IITGN community members to start doing yoga to make it a natural part of one’s routine in the long-term.

The event ended with a healthy Yogic Lunch for the participants. The IITGN community, including students, faculty, staff and their family members enthusiastically participated in all the activities.
