SIVANANDA WORLD PEACE FOUNDATION Curtain Raiser Event | Whetstone Primary School, Phoenix Building up to the United Nation’s 12th International Day of Unity | 21 June 2026, Durban Amphitheatre at 9h00am Yoga for Students:
Focus, Awareness, Unity The Sivananda World Peace Foundation is taking yoga to the people with a curtain raiser event at Whetstone Primary School in Phoenix. What we’re doing: Yoga for Students: Age-appropriate movement and breathing practices to release energy and improve posture, flexibility, and calm.
Mindfulness Sessions: Simple techniques to help learners pause, notice their breath, and return attention to the present moment. Focus & Awareness Training: Practical exercises that support concentration in class, reduce restlessness, and build self-regulation. Why it matters: This is how the Foundation makes a difference through yoga by reaching learners where they are.
When students learn to manage their attention and emotions early, they carry that skill into their families and communities. The bigger picture: Every school session feeds into the theme for IDY 2026: Yoga for Wellness, Wisdom and Global Peace.
Through programs like this, we promote social cohesion through yoga, creating small experiences of oneness that add up to a stronger, more connected South Africa. “Unity is not built in a day, but every day of choosing respect over division brings us closer.” Prince Ishwar Ramlutchman Mabheka Zulu
