On 6^th April 2010, a free camp (free transportation & fooding) was organized by S.D.M. (Stop Diabetes Movement) project at Prashanti, SVYASA University, Bangalore for diabetic persons practicing Yoga. I was one of the participants representing Dhrti Yoga Studio, BTM 2^nd stage Bangalore. It was a whole day business from 10 A.M.to 5 P.M. with lunch break for one hour from 2 P.M.to 3 P.M.

It’s a good idea to become healthy through traditional way such as Meditation; YOGA. Also it’s glad to witness that it is being supported by prominent specialists, who normally believe in science. I have seen the blog “Stop Diabetes Through Yoga “; it’s pretty much interesting.

Infact many of the participants of other yoga centres who attended S.D.M.Prasanti Camp held at SVYASA on 6th April 2010 were young and a few were adolescents.The diabetes detection camps were held earlier in January 2010 in different locations of Bangalore. I had attended Mega Diabetic Awareness Camp at Jayanagar organized by SDM project undertaken by SVYASA on 10.01.2010.
