| An ancient physical and spiritual discipline and branch of philosophy – ‘Yoga’ – originated in India reportedly more than 5000 years ago. ‘Yoga’ comes from the Sanskrit word YUJ – meaning to yoke, join or unite. One of the renowned schools of yoga defines YUJ as “joining or integrating of all aspects of the individual – body with mind and mind with soul to achieve a happy, balanced and useful life”. |  |

June 21st being the longest day of the year, the United Nations General Assembly declared the day as ‘International Yoga Day’ on 11th December 2014. |
| Millennium grabbed this opportunity to spread to its students the awareness of Yoga and its importance in day-to-day life. Activities were lined up during the entire week of 21st June 2015, to celebrate the International Yoga Day. |  |

The entire sports staff led by Mrs. Shaila Konde, Mr. Navnath Sarode, Mr. Pradeep Zende and Mr. Ganesh Birangal held different sessions for the students for standards 1 to 10 during their sports timing. At the beginning of each session, the teachers gave the students information on Yoga and thus explained it’s importance. The students performed different Asanas as were demonstrated technically by the sports team. |
The Yoga Day thus was literally transformed into an invigorating Yoga Week at Millennium.
Millennium also feels proud that since the start of this academic year, Yoga is being practiced as a regular activity during Sports for standards 1 to 4.
