A Healthy body means a healthy mind. To keep the body healthy, Yoga has proven to be very effective. I am an avid yoga enthusiastic & its regular practitioner. Since my early years, my mother has been my Yoga teacher. Last 2 years I have joined Yoga practicing institutes in the UAE and my experience has been amazing. Now so many Yoga instructors and institutions have come up everywhere. It has become very popular worldwide. Yoga is a mind and body practice with historical origins in ancient Indian philosophy. Various styles of yoga combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation. I believe that if your mind and body are active & healthy, you can contribute more towards conservation of environment. An Eco-warier must be healthy so that the mother nature may be well taken care of. I have noticed that Yoga is no more limited to India or merely a religion specific. It has spread its wings all over the world. People of all ethnic races practice yoga. Last Friday, on 16-Mar-2018, a two-day mass yoga session has been organized at the Kite Beach in Jumeirah, Dubai. I, along-with my family attended the early morning session with approx. 2,000 others. There were people of many nationalities in attendance. As the same was organized next to the beech we felt so close to the nature. Our session was conducted by famous Bollywood celebrity Ms. Malaika Arora, and model-turned international yoga guru, Yogi Cameron. Both conducted the session with professional ease and all the crowd performed & learned various yoga techniques. They were so engrossed with this activity the there was silence at the beach despite a 2,000-strong crowd was present. To my pleasant surprise, next day newspapers carried the pictures of our family, performing yoga sessions. The links of the same are attached. Taking care of the environmental aspects, we took public transport to the venue and the whole area of the event was full of recycling bins so that the waste do not go to the landfill.

Hello Rohan!
I've just learned about Yoga and especially the Yoga Sutra's eight steps in a class at my univ. It was all about concentration and keeping the mind healthy. The spirit of Yoga if saw in the view of religion study, includes Ahimsa(non-violence) and I think this leads to the love for environment. And also, still regardless of the origin, as yoga has spread out and became a public activity, the mental training itself does give people good spirit!!
Yoga which was originated from India (Hinduism) now truly seems to be not limited in its borders and religion. As a personal example, We also have yoga classes in our dormitory gym!!
Thanks for always sharing your activities with us!!

Hello Rohan, thanks always for sharing your real-time activities with others!
I totally agree with popularity among people about Yoga, and there are several Yoga classes in my univ too! (It is interesting to see many people loving Yoga since I barely saw Yoga classes in community centers near my hometown about 10 years ago haha)
What come to my mind is that Yoga does not need many equipment or artificial stuffs to start and keep up.
It means it is environment-friendly, as we don't need manufactured products to do Yoga.
Of course there are lots of different aims and activities between Yoga and other weight-lifting exercise, but at least it is same in that we get healthier.
Keep up with your works, and tell us stories more of environment-friendly activities, Rohan!
