Celebrating International Yoga Day

Pune, Maharashtra | 19th and 22nd June, 2026

Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life."

Yoga is not merely about physical exercise; it is a journey towards achieving harmony between the body, mind, and soul. Believing firmly in the holistic development of its students, S.B. Patil Public School enthusiastically celebrated International Yoga Day – which is annually celebrated on 21st June — by organising a series of yoga sessions across all sections of the school on the 19th and 22nd of June, 2026

The celebration commenced with a special yoga session for the students of the pre-primary section. The tiny tots began the day by chanting Omkar mantras and practising meditation, helping them establish a connection with their inner selves. They enthusiastically performed various yoga postures such as Tadasana, Uttanasana, Vrikshasana, and Trikonasana, while learning about the importance and benefits of yoga in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Simultaneously, yoga sessions were organised for students of Grades I to IX and XI to promote health, wellness, and mindfulness among young learners. The programme was meticulously planned and coordinated by the CCA Team in collaboration with the Sports Department. To make the sessions more enriching and effective, experienced yoga trainers from Mindful Yoga Academy were invited to guide the students through various yogic practices

The sessions were conducted under the expert guidance of Mr. Vishwas Pitre, Ms. Vaishnavi Pitre, Mr. Santosh Susveerkar, Ms. Pooja Susveerkar, and Mr. Eknath Khand kar. The trainers demonstrated a variety of yoga postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation practices, highlighting their role in improving concentration, flexibility, strength, emotional balance, and overall well-being.

Students across all grades participated with great enthusiasm, discipline, and dedication. They gained valuable insights into the significance of incorporating yoga into their daily routines and learned how regular practice can help reduce stress, improve focus, and foster a positive outlook towards life

The celebration aligned with the theme of International Yoga Day 2026 – “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”, which emphasises the importance of yoga in promoting lifelong health and wellness. Through this initiative, the school reinforced its commitment to nurturing healthy habits and encouraging the overall physical, mental, and emotional development of its students from an early age.

The event concluded on a refreshing and rejuvenating note, leaving students inspired to embrace yoga as an integral part of their daily lives. The entire school campus resonated with positivity, peace, and vitality. The school extends its heartfelt gratitude to the yoga trainers from Mindful Yoga Academy, the CCA Team, and the Sports Faculty members for their invaluable contribution in making the celebration a grand success.

Day One of the Pre-primary Section (2026-27)

Pune, Maharashtra | April 2026

There is something quietly beautiful about a first day — tiny hands holding on a little tighter, curious eyes taking in a world that feels both new and overwhelming. At S.B. Patil Public School, the academic year 2026–27 began on just such a note, as our youngest learners stepped into the pre-primary section, beginning a journey that will shape so many of their first memories of school..

The campus seemed to understand the moment — dressed in colours, balloons, cheerful welcome boards, and familiar cartoon characters — as if it were gently saying, “You belong here.” It was not just the children who needed that reassurance, but the parents too, standing at the edge of a new chapter.

They were warmly received by principal, Dr. Bindu Saini; headmaster, Ms. Shubhangi Kulkarni; and section coordinator, Ms. Supreya Nitin, whose presence carried a quiet calm. The teachers, with patient smiles and gentle words, did what they do best — they made the unfamiliar feel safe.

What followed was not just a schedule of activities, but a series of small, meaningful moments — music that invited hesitant feet to move, rhymes that slowly turned silence into laughter, and play areas filled with toys, slides, and seesaws where children forgot, even if just for a while, that they had been nervous at all.

In keeping with the spirit of National Education Policy 2020 and National Curriculum Framework, the day focused on learning through doing — through touch, play, sound, and imagination. Every activity was a quiet step towards helping each child find their voice, their confidence, and their place.

By the end of the day, the hesitation had softened into smiles, the silence into laughter, and the unknown into something a little more familiar. And in that gentle shift, a new beginning had already taken root — one that promises to grow into a year full of discovery, warmth, and joy.
