1 student to be chosen as yoga ambassador from each school
Jaipur: To promote practising yoga in schools, the education department will identify one student from each school who perform the best on International Yoga Day. These students will be made Yoga ambassadors in their schools to further encourage other students and teachers to practise yoga throughout the year. Officials said that along with school staff, the ambassadors will encourage locals in villages to incorporate yoga into their lives. "The selected students will be given special training to learn yoga and become trainers. A child can learn fast and encourage more students to practise a healthy lifestyle, which will not only improve the health of students but also increase their concentration and grasping power," said a senior official from the education department. As part of yoga camps being organised across the city, JMC Greater mayor Somya Gurjar, along with sanitation workers, performed yoga at her residence Friday. The sanitation workers took a pledge to practise yoga for 15 minutes daily. At Hawa Mahal, traders and entrepreneurs also performed yoga Friday morning, despite rain showers. During the yoga session by traders along with the JMC-G mayor, who has been made yoga ambassador by the state govt, a message to include the 3Rs—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—in daily lifestyle was given to the public. "Yoga is synonymous with discipline and an integral part of our ideology and culture, everyone should join the program on Yoga Day and add it to their daily routine," said Gurjar. On International Yoga Day Saturday, yoga programs will be organised at 13 places across Jaipur, including Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Galta Ji Temple, Jal Mahal, Hawa Mahal, Amer Fort, Govind Dev Ji Temple, Jaigarh, City Palace, Albert Hall, Central Park, Birla Mandir, Patrika Gate, and City Park.

Yoga, nature & yajna blend in JMC-Greater's wellness push
Jaipur: A fresh wellness initiative began in Jaipur Sunday, aiming to reconnect residents with yoga and nature. The drive was launched at Biodiversity Park in Jhotwara, where Jaipur Municipal Corporation Greater mayor Somya Gurjar joined the public in a yoga session and participated in a tree plantation activity. This year, the camps are uniquely designed to align with the 11th International Yoga Day 's theme: "Yoga for One Earth, One Health". According to Gurjar, each yoga session will include continuous yajna and promote environmental awareness. Participants are also being gifted saplings as part of the campaign's green mission. Gurjar said, "We want yoga to reach every courtyard and greenery to flourish in every home. This combined effort is a step towards holistic wellbeing." The sessions are led by experienced yoga instructors, including Yogacharya Kul Bhushan Bairathi, Yogacharya Preeti, Satpal Ji, and Yogi Manish, who guide participants through various asanas and breathing exercises. The initiative not only encourages physical and mental wellness but also aims to foster a deeper connection with nature. By integrating yajna and plant distribution, the programme reflects a thoughtful blend of ancient practice and modern ecological responsibility. The next yoga camp will take place on June 11 at Smriti Park, Vidhyadhar Nagar.
