5 About the Yoga Olympiad Introduction The word Yoga is derived from Sanskrit root Yuj which means Join or unite. This may be taken as union of body, mind and soul, and is used in literature both as an end as well as means. As end yoga signifies integration of personality at the highest level. As means yoga includes various practices and techniques which are employed to achieve the development of such integration. These practices and techniques are means in the yogic literature and are also referred to collectively as Yoga. Yoga is not only a process for leading towards astounding hidden personality of human beings by bringing mastery over the body, mind, intellect and emotional faculties, but is also a powerful tool to manifest these hidden potentialities in the self. Yoga is an art of living. It improves the quality of life, a healthy life with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being that leads to holistic development of body and mind. Swami Vivekananda once said, Yoga has a complete message for humanity. Good Health is the right of every human being, but this right depends on individual, social and environmental factors. We can develop a better immune system and a better perception of oneself so that other conditions do not affect us adversely and we can achieve good health. Positive health does not mean merely freedom from disease, but it also includes a jubilant and energetic feeling of well-being. Yoga is one of the most powerful drugless systems of treatment. The International Day of Yoga is celebrated on 21 st June which is also the longest day of a year therefore, keeping in mind the importance of yoga in life it is felt that Yoga Olympiad should bring the idea of Olympic sports or a marathon peace run in the field of yoga. With this idea, the new initiative was named as Yoga Olympiad which is also means that we come together for achieving harmony, love and peace. Apart from physical demonstration of yoga, later on, the Olympiad also measured the individual s knowledge, grasp of concept, definition of yoga and its various techniques for total growth of an individual at physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Objectives of Yoga Olympiad To develop understanding of yogic practices and apply this understanding accordingly in one s life. To develop healthy habits and lifestyle among children. To develop human values among children. To develop physical, emotional and mental health through yogic activities. To develop harmony with nature and universe Theme of Yoga Olympiad The aim of yoga thus, is to encourage a positive and healthy lifestyle for physical, mental and emotional health of children. Yoga helps in the development of strength, stamina, 4

6 endurance and high energy at physical level. It also empowers oneself with increased concentration, calm, peace and contentment at mental level leading to inner and outer harmony, therefore Yoga Olympiad has been planned. The theme for the Yoga Olympiad was Yoga for Health and Harmony. Yogic Practices to be covered in Olympiad The Following dimensions of Yoga are embedded into Yoga Olympiad : 1. Shatkarma/Kriya (Cleansing Process) 2. Asanas 3. Pranayama 4. Dhyana (Meditation) (Not for evaluation) 5. Bandha and Mudra (Only for Secondary level) Shatkarma/Kriya (Cleansing Process) Shatkarma means six karmas or kriyas. The karma/kriya means 'action'. Shatkarma consists purificatory processes which cleanse the specific organs of the body by detoxifying them. The purification helps to keep the body and mind healthy. There are six cleansing processes described in hatha yogic texts. These are Neti, Dhauti, Basti, Trataka, Nauli and Kapalabhati. These are used to clean the internal organs or systems by using water, air or manipulation of certain organs of the body. Asanas The term asana means sitting in a particular posture, which is comfortable and which could be maintained steadily for long time. Asana gives stability and comfort, both at physical and mental level. There may be variations in the techniques of some of the asanas depending upon the following yoga institutions. Pranayama Pranayama consists of the breathing techniques which are related to the control of breath or respiratory process. Pranayama popularly known as yogic breathing, involves a conscious manipulation of our breathing pattern. The health of the respiratory system depends upon the quality as well as the quantity of air inhaled by the person. It also depends on the rhythm and completeness of the breathing. Through pranayama, a practitioner advantageously works with her/his respiratory, cardiovascular and the nervous system which bring about emotional stability and peace of mind. 5

7 Pranayama has three phases known as puraka, rechaka and kumbhaka. Puraka is controlled inhalation; rechaka is controlled exhalation and kumbhaka is controlled retention of breath. Initially, the exhalation (Rechaka) may be a little more prolonged in comparison to inhalation (Puraka). Insistence on 1:2 ratio in the beginning may prove counterproductive. As we practice, 1:2 ratio is reached in natural manner. Dhyana (Meditation) (Not for evaluation) Meditation is a practice which helps in concentration of the body and mind. In meditation, concentration is focussed for a long time on a single object like tip of the nose, space between eyebrows, etc. It develops a sense of well-being and improves memory and decision making power in the person. Bandha and Mudra (Only for Secondary level) Bandha and Mudra are the practices involving manipulation of certain semi-voluntary and involuntary muscles in the body. These practices bring about voluntary control and tone up the internal organs. School Participating All government, government-aided schools were eligible to participate. In this Olympiad students from 26 states and UTs participated.
