A college is a place where young adults go through the developmental stage and they face many experiences. They must balance between success and failure. When this balance is missed they undergo many mental and health issues. Yoga helps college students to fight against stress, anxiety, and depression and to maintain appropriate physical health.

Our college conducts various programs for students to help them to overcome these difficulties. One among the various program is the Yoga training for the students.
