International Yoga Day Celebration at AIRU
Armenian Russian International University (ARIU) celebrated International Yoga Day 2024 with some of the most energetic and rejuvenating celebrations which combined the theme of 'Yoga For Health and Well being.' The event was held on June 21, 2024 and included students, faculty, and staff in experiencing the transformative benefits of yoga for mind and body.
The event started off with a mass yoga session, where participants followed a routine where they focused on flexibility, breathing techniques and mindfulness practices. It was led by professional yoga instructors who went on to explain basic asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation techniques and coupled these exercises with the reduction of stress and concentration sought patiently by all medical students.
Faculty members and student leaders offered a glimpse into the need to blend yoga into daily lives in ways that help students manage academic stress, improve their physical health, and improve general well-being. It also conveyed the scientific part of yoga, as proven by yoga, to promote better posture, cardiovascular health, as well as mental clarity.
ARIU’s International Yoga Day celebration was a display of the university’s belief in holistic education that focuses on students to care for themselves as well as for academics. ARIU creates a domain of wellness, mindfulness, and equilibrium in which its student graduates not only are knowledgeable professionals but also are physically and mentally strong people who can embrace the medical field’s demands.
