Goa, June 22, 2026: The Gera School (TGS) celebrated International Yoga Day with a series of engaging and age-appropriate wellness sessions designed to introduce students to the benefits of yoga, mindfulness, and holistic well-being.
The celebrations were conducted across all grades and featured specially curated sessions led by two experts along with an in-house faculty member. Students from the Early Years to Grade 4 practiced simple yoga asanas focused on enhancing flexibility, balance, coordination, and overall physical wellness. Meanwhile, students from Grades 5 to 12 took part in breathing exercises, a guided live-meditation session, and interactive discussions highlighting the importance of mindfulness in everyday life.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Carol Joseph, Principal, The Gera School, said, “At The Gera School, we believe education extends beyond academics and includes nurturing the overall well-being of every child. International Yoga Day provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience the benefits of mindfulness, movement, and self-awareness. We hope these practices inspire them to adopt healthy habits that support their physical health, emotional resilience, and personal growth.”
The senior students were also introduced to practical yoga asanas that can be easily incorporated into their daily routines to improve concentration, emotional regulation, and mental clarity. Through these sessions, students gained valuable insights into how a few minutes of mindful movement and conscious breathing can contribute positively to both physical and mental health. The programme also encouraged students to view yoga as an accessible and sustainable wellness practice, while highlighting how regular mindfulness habits can help set the tone for a productive and balanced day.
The initiative reflects The Gera School’s continued commitment to fostering a balanced learning environment that encourages students to prioritize wellness alongside academic excellence.
