“Yoga is not about what one will get, it is about what one can give up”-rightly said by Mr. Narendra Modi, the hon'ble prime minister of India, on the occasion of international yoga day on 21st June 2016. Yoga purifies the body and soul. Not only it drives the illness out of the body, but also brings mental peace and positive energy.
As the world celebrated second international yoga day with a positive and enthusiastic spirit, it was also observed with equal vigour in Symbiosis Institute of Operations Management. The theme for yoga day celebration inside SIOM was “Desk Yoga”, which talked about, how yoga can be easily and comfortably inducted into the busy and hectic lives of MBA students.
