International Yoga Day celebrations
“Yoga is the dance of every cell with the music of every breath that creates inner serenity and harmony.”
In keeping with this spirit, Rajhans Vidyalaya joyfully celebrated International Yoga Day 2025 with a series of meaningful and enriching activities.
The International Yoga Day is also known as Summer Solstice aka Longest Day of the year, following its declaration by the United Nations in 2014. The idea was proposed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasizing yoga’s ancient roots in India and its benefits for physical and mental well-being.
