Day one of DLSA’s Two-Day Yoga Training Camp: camp was led Panchanan Singh
Ranchi: The first day of the two-day yoga training camp, organized by the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) in preparation for the 12th International Yoga Day, was held in an atmosphere of great enthusiasm. A large number of participants took part in the camp and practiced yoga.
Speaking on the occasion, DLSA Secretary Rakesh Raushan stated that yoga is an invaluable heritage of Indian culture. Regular yoga practice keeps an individual physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy, while also infusing life with positive energy.
The camp was led by 73-year-old chief instructor Panchanan Singh. He shed light on the tradition of yoga, its scientific significance, and its utility in daily life. He explained that yoga improves blood circulation, strengthens muscles, and keeps the nervous system active.
At the training camp, 'Art of Living' instructors—Prasanna Devi, Vikas Pathak, Miral Mahto, Nutan Singh, Anuradha Das, and Preeti Ranjan—trained the participants in various yoga techniques.
The program began with a Vedic prayer. This was followed by sessions on *Sukshma Vyayam* (subtle physical exercises). The instructors explained that *Sukshma Vyayam* prepares the body for yoga practice and activates the joints and muscles.
During the *Pranayama* session, participants practiced *Kapalbhati*, *Anulom-Vilom*, *Sheetali Pranayama*, *Bhramari Pranayama*, and *Shanmukhi Mudra*. Information regarding the health benefits of various *Yogasanas* (yoga postures) was also provided.
Highlighting the contributions of Yogacharya Dhirendra Brahmachari and his guru Markandeya Ji, chief instructor Panchanan Singh noted that these great figures played a pivotal role in Sukshma Vyayam to the masses. He remarked that yoga is not merely a means to prevent disease but an art of living a healthy and balanced life.
The first day of the camp concluded with the peace invocation: "Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah, Sarve Santu Niramayah" (May all be happy; may all be free from illness). On the following day, a mass yoga session will be conducted in accordance with the International Yoga Day protocol.
