Inspired by Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's vision, Gujarat State Yog Board (GSYB) was established on June 21, 2019, with the aim of making Yog an integral part of people's lives. In a remarkably short span of time, GSYB has taken the lead in promoting Yog across Gujarat, bringing its numerous benefits right to people's doorsteps. By diligently training over 80,000 Yog trainers and seamlessly integrating Yog into the education system, GSYB has laid a solid foundation for Yog across the state and has made Gujarat a vibrant hub of Yog culture. GSYB's forward-thinking and innovative approach have propelled the popularity of Yog, positioning it as a powerful tool for promoting holistic health and wellness.
Yog is an ancient practice that has been around for thousands of years. It originated in India and has since spread across the world. Yog has been accepted as a popular form of exercise for the physical and mental health of people of all ages. At its core, Yog is a holistic approach to physical and mental health. It combines various physical postures, known as asanas, with breathing techniques and meditation to help practitioners achieve a sense of balance and well-being.
Did you know that practicing Yog regularly can help prevent many diseases? Yog is a holistic practice that not only benefits the body but also the mind and spirit. Studies have shown that Yog can reduce stress, improve sleep, boost immunity, and increase overall well-being. Various yog postures, or asanas, stimulate the organs and increase blood flow, which can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
