Yoga is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy. Pranayam Camp was a yoga camp conducted by Indus International School for five days. Everybody present including the teachers, were expected to practice yoga for an hour. When anyone mentions about yoga, common reaction from anyone of my age, would be, boredom. Well, to tell the truth, that was my reaction too! But, that was until I started practicing it. This was a very new experience for me in my life -It gave me relaxation in the early mornings and helped me to start off my day with a fresg mind. It made me realise what I missed. My mornings were no more sleepy or tired, but fresh, filled with energy. Meditation was a refreshment for me. When the Major taught me "Surya Namaskar", It helped me so much, that, I started to practice it almost everyday. Toga is a new skill that I developed through this camp and something that will help me throughout my life - if I keep practising it. There were four exercises taught by the Major - simple, but very helpful as it helps me burn down many calories in just a few minutes. Yoga helps one to stay healthy, it acts as a complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma and heart patients and also a very good way to manage your anger. Conducting the Yoga camp by my school was one of the best things that they've done for us, I will not regret it and hope that no one else will either.
