Hillwoods Academy, Noida
International Yoga Day
June 21, 2025
Dear Respected Parents, Students,
Beloved Divine Souls
Om Shanti.
On this sacred day, when the world pauses to honour the timeless science of Yoga, I offer you my warmest greetings from the heart. At Hillwoods Academy, we do not merely observe Yoga as a physical discipline, it is our prayer in motion, a stillness in action, and a celebration of union with the Self.
Yoga is not merely a practice of the body. It is the art of awakening the unfolding of the sacred union between our breath and the Divine, between our duties and our deeper Dharma. It is a path that elevates our children not only in body and mind, but in spirit—gently sculpting them into strong, sensitive, and spiritually aware citizens of the world.
As the Bhagavad Gita reminds us, “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” Today, as our children stretch their limbs and steady their breath, they are not just performing postures-they are awakening to inner strength, balance, and the radiant light of awareness within.
We are blessed to launch our new Gymnastics and Rock Climbing programs today. These are not merely activities but spiritual metaphors: learning to rise when we fall, to balance when we sway, to breathe through fear, and to ascend gracefully through life’s many cliffs and chasms.
In our school, we believe that education is incomplete without an inward journey. Let this International Yoga Day mark the beginning of many such inner pilgrimages for each of our learners.
Our SEEL (Social, Emotional, Ethical Learning) curriculum is a living expression of this yogic vision. Through it we nurture emotional regulation, mindful decision-making, inner resilience, and compassionate action. We help children not only manage stress but understand it. Not just to achieve but to evolve.
Whether through deep breathing, silent reflection, community service, or collaborative learning, our students are being gently guided to discover their highest potential not just for themselves but for the world.
The Hillwoods community is guided by SEVA. We do not educate just for achievement we educate for awareness. We nurture children not just for marks but for meaning. We teach them not only to reach heights but to lift others as they rise.
May the spirit of yoga continue to guide every child of Hillwoods Academy to rise with strength serve with humility, and shine with compassion.
With folded hands, a heart full of gratitude and unwavering SEVA
