MEDITATION AND YOGA
Yoga and meditation are TRADITIONAL India’s unique gift to the world. They strengthen your body and mind providing mental peace and physical power, help you fight disease and live longer and healthier. New Horizon Gurukul aims to nurture thses intrinsic qualities in its students through the use of a Yoga , Meditation and Kirtan room in a bid to reconnect to our roots.

When children learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfillment, they can navigate life's challenges with a little more ease. Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity that's noncompetitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion instead of opposition is a great gift to give our children.

Children derive enormous benefits from yoga and Dhyanam exercises. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.

New Horizon Gurukul has kept these features in mind and made these programmes an integral part of the school’s curriculum.
