The most important thing was that the teachers also did Karma Yoga. In explaining the practical aspects of yoga in the camp, teachers were called upon to adopt it as their lifestyle. Yoga is necessary for peace and spontaneity. Physical teachers have also been provided with a syllabus to impart yoga to the students of their schools. Due to this, physical teachers will now teach physical exercises, sports, and yoga in their schools.
