In an exciting and innovative move, the Ahmadiyya Campus has taken a significant step toward promoting physical and mental well-being by offering yoga instruction. The decision to integrate yoga into the campus’s offerings is part of a broader initiative to encourage a healthy lifestyle, improve mindfulness, and foster a sense of community among students and staff alike. The program is being led by a certified yoga instructor who has been trained to offer both beginners and advanced yoga sessions. The classes cater to a wide range of students, from those looking to de-stress after a hectic day of studies to those eager to challenge themselves with more intense yoga practices.
Beyond the physical aspects, yoga is also a powerful tool for mental and emotional well-being. The practice of mindfulness, breathing techniques, and meditation helps to cultivate a sense of calm, reduce stress, and improve focus. One of the most celebrated benefits of yoga is its ability to reduce stress. The combination of deep breathing and mindful movement helps activate the body’s relaxation response, which can lower levels of cortisol (the stress hormone).
