Workshop, workout and more! | World Health Day at BYJU’S

With ‘remote work’ becoming the new normal and increased screen time taking over outdoor activities, prioritising health and wellbeing has never been more important.  Self-care, in fact, is key to sustenance now. 

With this in mind, this World Health Day at BYJU’S, we took a mindful approach with a mix of workshops focusing on different aspects of ‘health’ – nourished body, mind and soul. All the sessions talked about the importance of overall wellness and continuing to work towards being healthy every single day through small changes in our lifestyles.

Health Day celebrations at BYJU’S

When was the last time you had a plate full of ragi upma or buckwheat (kuttu) roti with chutney? Day 1 of our ‘ Wholeheartedly Healthy’ celebrations was all about making heritage grains trendy once again. The experts leading the session emphasised the need to rediscover the wealth of grains like ragi, jowar, bajra, among others. They also shared easy ways to include these grains in a regular diet. The session ended with an interactive Q&A where the expert answered all the queries shared by BYJUites.

If the first day was all about food for the soul, Day 2 focused on nourishing the mind with a ‘De-stress Yourself’ workshop. The half-an-hour meditation session was conducted by experts at YourDost. The session was designed to help us calm our minds and maintain resilience against stress during challenging times. During this session, participants also learned a few simple relaxation exercises, live. After a long day at work, it was just the break we needed.

It was a sight to see fitness enthusiasts at BYJU’S join in huge numbers and enjoy the fun and heart-pumping workout session together.
