Yoga: Practice to Preach
Objectives:
The institution believes in the student's Holistic development. The concept of wellness is what they are learners today and practitioners tomorrow need to understand the genesis of Aarogya should realize a proper physical and mental condition in their own life and then should deliver to society.
Yoga Shastra, the most vibrant & acknowledge segment in health science, is practiced for students to have the ability to sustain mental/societal pressures and gain physical health, especially stamina to serve long working hours.
The Context:
The students first time entering our institute have undergone an unnatural lifestyle for about 3 to 4 years. Preparing for the 10+2 pattern as well as the entrance examination is a fact and they have faced it successfully. On this voyage, they were facing internal & external pressure to perform par excellence (maybe beyond capacity) and arrive at some destination. Most of the students have dreamed of MBBS and have landed at BAMS. This leads to a lower confidence level and a little bit of negation/depression that hampers performance in the BAMS program. At this juncture time, they need a support system that would take them to a life of professionalism. This practice has collaborated with JANARDAN SWAMI YOGABHYAS MANDAL, Nagpur, the Institute of more than 100 years of repute.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required
- Firstly, it was difficult to gather students for daily yoga practice in the morning. After knowing the importance of yoga, a good energetic response is observed.
- For localized students & yoga trainers, management provides transport services for attending a yoga class in the early morning.
- In covid pandemic situation, we were unable to take an offline yoga class that’s why we conducted yoga classes by online mode for students.
