On 21st June, we celebrate ‘International Yoga day’
What is so special about yoga anyway?
My mom was shocked when I asked her this
She said ‘Sit down and listen to me, Miss’
Yoga means ‘Union’ in Sanskrit
Yoga is mentioned in ‘Rig Veda’ and it’s not a myth
Yoga was started in ancient India Five Thousand years ago
Practise it every day and you will feel the glow
Yoga energies our body, mind and soul
It teaches you self-control and makes you feel whole
It is much more than just an exercise
And it is fit for every age or size
Yoga brings calmness, flexibility and strength to you
So come on get up and try a pose or two
My mother’s words struck me hard
Then and there, I grabbed my yoga mat and ran to the yard!
