“धर्मार्थकाममोक्षाणामारोग्यं मूलमुत्तमम्” Keeping this in view, Gurukul provides an excellent environment for physical exercise, yoga and sports.
Yoga, exercise and sports are very necessary to keep children physically and mentally healthy. That’s why yoga practice and evening sports are organized daily in Gurukul. Judo, Karate, lathi-bhala etc. are also taught as means of self-protection. From time to time there are special presentations of yoga and sports and competitions are also held. Due to this, enthusiasm remains in children towards these activities.
Thus during their stay at the Gurukul these girls get numerous opportunities to achieve their best. They are able to infinitely expand their personality.
