International Yoga Day Celebrated across all Makoons Play Schools
New Delhi : Makoons Play School, India’s fastest-growing preschool chain, embraced the spirit of well-being and mindfulness as it celebrated International Yoga Day with its young learners across all their schools on 21st June. The event aimed to introduce the preschoolers to the joys and benefits of yoga, promoting physical health, mental focus, and emotional balance from an early age.
All the preschools’ play areas were transformed into a tranquil haven, adorned with colorful yoga mats, soft cushions, and captivating decorations. The atmosphere was further enhanced by soothing instrumental music that fostered a peaceful ambiance for the children.
Under the guidance of experienced yoga instructors, the children were introduced to the fundamentals of yoga through engaging and age-appropriate activities. Through interactive storytelling, the preschoolers embarked on an imaginary journey, embodying various animal and nature elements by mimicking their movements and poses. This creative approach fostered a sense of playfulness while nurturing their physical coordination and flexibility.
In addition to the storytelling session, the children were taught simple breathing exercises to enhance their focus and cultivate relaxation. Techniques such as “Bunny Breathing” and “Flower Breath” were introduced, encouraging the preschoolers to engage in deep, intentional breathing to calm their minds and promote a sense of inner peace.
“Our aim at Makoons is to provide a holistic education experience for our young learners,” said Mr. Vijay Kumar Agarwal, CEO & Co-founder at Makoons Play School.
“Celebrating International Yoga Day enables us to introduce the practice of yoga in a fun and accessible way, fostering their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We believe that by instilling mindfulness and healthy habits from an early age, we are equipping our children with lifelong tools for self-care and resilience.”
“Yoga has played an important role in my life and helped me improve my life. I’m happy to teach my students the same.” Says Deepshikha Gupta, Centre Owner, Ahmedabad, Makoons Play School. She also added “Yoga enhances physical strength, flexibility, and balance while promoting mental clarity and relaxation, leading to improved overall well-being and a harmonious mind-body connection.”
