Beginning June 21st, Sunday, Yoga sessions will be conducted across its entire network of educational institutions.

Dr. Subhash Chandra, Chairman – ZEE & Essel Group said, “The ancient Indian practice of Yoga nurtures the mind, working through the medium of the body. Yoga enhances the body and soul with additional strength, zeal and beauty. It is a beautiful act of nurturing the divinity within you. I strongly believe that it is a gift to all of us, and it is essential that we work towards making it a mass movement globally. I am confident that the International Yoga Day, which our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has initiated, will have a strong impact on humanity, maybe not immediately but definitely in the next five to ten years.”

KVS Seshasai, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Zee Learn said, “Yoga is an intangible cultural heritage of India. We applaud the initiative undertaken by the Indian government and Ministry of AYUSH to promote Yoga worldwide by observing ‘International Yoga Day’ as recognised by the United Nations (UN). Zee Learn is committed to taking this initiative to all parents and students of Kidzee and Mount Litera Zee Schools across India as Yoga helps in enhancing learning and concentration and reduces stress levels amongst people.”

As part of the festivities, Mount Litera Zee School, will be organising talk sessions on Yoga exercises along with demonstration for the students and parents across 62 of its schools in India. Kidzee, Asia’s largest chain of preschools, will conduct a week-long programme through specially-designed lesson plans to introduce toddlers to Yoga.
