Can you complete 108 rounds of the Surya Namaskar? Yes? Great! Just head to the yoga camp organised by Navyoga, a social group promoting yoga and reiki, in Mayur Vihar Phase II on Sunday, prove it, and win Rs 1,000!
The yoga session will start at 5.30 am at Mahaveer Vatika, Pocket F, Mayur Vihar Phase II.
Manjari Joshi, a member of Navyoga, told City Spidey that the purpose of the cash award was to encourage the city's youth to participate in the camp.
“These days youngsters prefer hitting the gym over practising yoga, as they are not aware of its benefits," said Joshi. "Yoga is unparalleled in beating diseases and improving flexibility. We know that youngsters are capable of doing 108 rounds of Surya Namaskar, hence the cash reward."
The camp will have a separate slot for senior citizens. In the 22-minute session, senior citizens will be taught Pranayama and meditation to keep their body fit. “Five yoga specialists will walk the participants through the asanas. One in three people in Delhi suffers from ailments such as heart problem, asthma and diabetes. We will tell them how 20 minutes of yoga can keep all these health problems at bay," added Joshi.
The Navyoga team has requested the RWAs of housing societies in Mayur Vihar Phase I and Mayur Vihar Phase I Extension to urge their residents to attend the free yoga camp with their family members.
