Yoga is the oldest discipline that provides physical health, mental health, and spiritual benefits. According to Kathopanishad, yoga is to stabilize and tranquilize the senses involved in the subjects. According to Patanjali's yoga philosophy, yoga is the cessation of the tendencies (vrittis) of the Chitta. Thus yoga is more than just exercise and asana, it is an esoteric science. The place of yoga in student life is very important. Keeping this in mind, yoga-related activities and Yoga sports are integral parts of campus sports activities.
