Yoga Program
The true essence of yoga revolves around elevating the life force or ‘Kundalini’ at the base of the spine. It aims to achieve this through a series of physical and mental exercises. At the physical level, the methods comprise various yoga postures or 'asanas' that aim to keep the body healthy.
With the aim to help the Staff, Students and University fraternity of CUSAT to attain the good health , the Department of Physical Education has been instrumental in conducting a routine Yoga program. The venture was fruitful with an active participation of nearly 100 individuals. Separate classes were conducted for students. The program was financially supported by the UGC including the same under the “Swasth Bharat scheme”.
