Themes explored ranged from practicing yoga in natural surroundings to using eco-friendly yoga mats and embodying the principles of harmony with nature. The creativity and depth displayed by the young participants went beyond mere artistry; their pieces conveyed powerful messages about environmental stewardship and mindfulness.
"We believe in nurturing environmental awareness from an early age," expressed Nilakshi Goswami Baruah, Director from Kindergarden Preschool. "This competition allowed children to creatively explore the intersection of yoga and sustainability, fostering a deeper connection with our planet."
