The practice of yoga brings enormous benefits and positive effects on the body and mind. Even the villages are not far behind. In order to create awareness of this ancient Indian art, 150 students of the Gurukulam school at Thuneri village walked up to the Parade hills, cleaned up the area and began performing yoga in the natural surroundings. They recited Sanskrit slokas and also meditated for a while.
