Yoga to be included in school syllabus
Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Saturday said the State government is taking initiatives to include yoga in the school curriculum and public health programme as this helps create a healthy, self-reliant and efficient India. Addressing a State-level programme on the occasion of International Yoga Day at Kalinga Stadium here, he said yoga is not just a physical exercise but something that keeps the body, mind and soul active. The programme, organised by Odisha's Sports and Youth Affairs department, was attended by over 10,000 people, including ministers, lawmakers, bureaucrats, students, women and others. 'In Odisha, we are making yoga available to everyone. We organise awareness campaigns on yoga in schools, colleges, hostels and sporting centres. We can also include yoga in school curriculum and public health programmes,' the Chief Minister said. Majhi said the awareness programmes on yoga teach people to maintain a healthy life. Though yoga has been practised in India for many years, Narendra Modi ensured its international recognition after assuming charge as the Prime Minister in 2014, he said. Due to the Prime Minister's efforts, the United Nations declared June 21 as the International Yoga Day, he said. The Chief Minister said Yoga is 'not just a physical exercise, but something that keeps body, mind and soul active'. 'Yoga is a medium to attain physical, intellectual, mental and spiritual fulfilment. It is beneficial for human bodies,' he said. The theme of this year's International Yoga Day is 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health', which highlights the deep connection between personal well-being and the health of the planet. 'It shows how the ancient yoga practice nourishes not only the body and mind but also nature and promotes a harmonious lifestyle that respects all living beings,' he said. On this occasion, the traditional Gotipua dance was performed by the Culture department. Internationally acclaimed sand artist Padma Shri Sudarsan Pattnaik created a sand sculpture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi performing Ustrasana (Camel Pose) on the Puri sea beach.

International Yoga Day 2025: Best Yoga Poses for Each Life Path Number
As the world unites to celebrate International Yoga Day 2025, it's the perfect moment to explore how ancient yogic practices can align with your unique numerological path. Your Life Path Number, derived from your birth date, reflects core aspects of your personality, strengths, and spiritual journey. By combining the wisdom of numerology with the healing power of yoga, you can discover personalized poses that enhance balance, focus, and inner peace. Whether you're a dynamic Life Path 1 or a deeply intuitive Life Path 7, there's a yoga pose tailored to support your growth and well-being. Sidhharrth S Kumaar, Life & Relationship Coach shares best yoga poses for each life path number Life Path 1 If you are a Life Path 1, you are determined, naturally independent, born leader. Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II) is perfect to help you sustain your strong will and self-starting character; it anchors you in confidence while strengthening your mental focus, thereby enabling you to direct your leadership into deliberate action. Camel Pose (Ustrasana) opens the heart chakra, so promoting vulnerability and gentleness, thus balancing your go-getter energy with emotional depth. One must have this duality of strength and openness if they are to lead with both force and sensitivity. Life Path 2 Life Path 2s, which are simple and easy, excel on connection, teamwork, and emotional equilibrium. When outward energy becomes overpowering, Child's Pose (Balasana) provides a relaxing haven that helps you re-connect with your inner tranquillity. Encouragement of introspection and emotional grounding helps the wide-angle seated forward bend (Upavistha Konasana) complement this. These relaxing positions help you to remain balanced and centered and foster the harmony you are naturally searching for in surroundings and relationships. Life Path 3 When Life Path 3s can freely communicate their voice and emotions, they shine creatively, emotionally, and joyfully. Salamba Sarvangasana, a shoulder stand, tones the throat chakra, therefore improving self-expression and clearing lines of connection. A gentle heart and throat opening, fish pose (Matsyasana) helps to release emotions and promote sincerity. These positions develop the confidence to express and live their truth and help 3s remain connected to their natural pleasure. Life Path 4 Life Path 4s are consistent, grounded, and love structure based. For someone who finds great success on stability, Tree Pose (Vrksasana) strengthens balance, concentration, and anchored energy ideal for this foundation. Plank Pose develops endurance and core strength and fits your resilient work ethic exactly. These physically demanding poses help you to fulfill your inherent need to create and maintain both inside and outside long-lasting systems. Life Path 5 Being a Life Path 5 person makes you vibrant, adventurous, and change-oriented. Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) help you remain physically and psychologically nimble and match your love of variation with their fluid movement. Encouraging balance, flexibility, and expansion helps Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) match this vitality. These poses help you to stay anchored in clarity and attention and assist your search for liberation. Life Path 6 Responsible and nurturing, Life Path 6s generally meet emotional needs of others. Supported Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana) provides emotional equilibrium and mild heart opening to help you renew your own vitality. Combine this with Legs-Up- the- Wall Pose (Viparita Karani) to help the nervous system heal and relax. These restoring positions help you to treat yourself with the same love and attention you pay to others. Life Path 7 Often driven to isolation and inner understanding, Life Path 7s are contemplative and spiritually inclined. Supporting your meditative inclination, seated forward folds (Paschimottanasana) encourage peaceful introspection and deep relaxation. Reflecting your capacity to hold complexity and search deeper truths, Eagle Pose (Garudasana) offers a degree of mental attention and subtle challenge. These poses improve your spiritual development by helping you to remain in touch to both your body and your inner world. Life Path 8 Driven and aspirational, Life Path 8s are here to master material success and power. Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I) fuels your will and concentration, therefore enabling you to boldly and clearly establish yourself. Keeping you centered as you negotiate leadership and responsibility, Boat Pose (Navasana) builds core and willpower. These strong, activating stances help root your drive with inside strength. Life Path 9 As a Life Path 9, you are incredibly sympathetic and driven by global consciousness. Perfect for your inclination to absorb others' energies, the wide-lepped forward bend (Prasarita Padottanasana) helps you stay grounded and promotes emotional release. Reclined Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana) releases the heart and hips, therefore enabling emotional healing and more free flow of unconditional love. From a state of great inner calm, these poses assist your calling to give, serve, and heal.
