2020 ONLINE PRESENTATIONS

New ways of yoga propagation and training were developed to reach out to all aspirants who due to the Covid-19 situation were unable to attend any program at Ganga Darshan or elsewhere in India.

Under the inspiration of Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, online presentations were created to meet the needs of the individual and the community. Bihar School of Yoga also responded to invitations to participate in webinars organized by various institutions as well as the Government of India.

 

HEALTH INITIATIVES

In April, Yoga Lifestyle Sadhana was launched, giving tools, practices and attitudes to promote total wellbeing for the whole family.

In May, an app called For Frontline Heroes was designed for people who are active in the fight against Coronavirus, presenting simple yoga practices to help alleviate tension and stress caused by the pandemic.

On 21st June, the International Day of Yoga was observed with an online presentation of living yoga throughout the day.

The Health for Everyone series was launched with two presentations:

  • Breathe for Healthy Lungs presents vital information to promote and correct breathing habits. It provides simple practices to maintain optimum health of the lungs
  • Cardiac Care through Yoga gives an understanding of the functioning of the heart and practices to strengthen and relax this most vital organ
