On June 8th, Global Wellness Day, and in anticipation of International Yoga Day June 21st, Soroptimist International Esperance Club members invited women to a \u201cYoga and You\u2026Finding Balance\u201d event held in Palmiste.\u00a0 As a part of their ongoing 2019 Mental Health project, women participated in an evening of yoga allowing them to experience not only the positive effects yoga has on one\u2019s physical health, but also on one\u2019s mental health.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yoga helps to relieve stress, improve mood states and increase concentration; all of which are necessary to \u201cfind balance\u201d in our busy daily lives. The class was led by yoga instructor, Renee Rampersadsingh, founder of Anugraha Yoga.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The programme is a part of their Soroptimist Federation (SIGBI) president\u2019s initiative entitled #SoroptimistThinkOnIt which has focused on mental health during the course of this year. The Esperance Soroptimists have taken a holistic approach, launching projects to develop the body, the mind and the spirit. The Dans\u00e9 \u2013 A\u00a0Fitness Event to Boost Your Mood<\/a> dealt with the body, but the opportunity to consult with a psychologist in the \u2018Time to Talk\u2019 Rooms was available. <\/span>The <\/span>\u00a0\u2018Scars to Your Beautiful\u2019 <\/a>session at Barrackpore ASJA College encouraged the girls to develop a positive body image, and encouraged them to seek help when faced with problems.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The practice of yoga is the perfect synthesis of mind, body and spirit. The \u2018Yoga and You\u2026Finding Balance\u2019 evening emphasized self-care, meditation, physical and mental health, all of which are necessary for total wellness in today\u2019s world. It is considered that yoga brings the body, soul and spirit in unison.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
