IIM Nagpur hosted Dr Rachna Khanna Singh (Lifestyle, Wellness and Relationship Expert and HOD – Holistic Medicine, Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon) for a workshop on ‘Healthy Mind, Healthy Body’ conducted as part of the Orientation Programme for PGP 2021-23.
Dr Singh took students through the causes, symptoms and ways in which stress manifests itself, especially with the additional anxieties that the pandemic has brought about. She explained how it is difficult to be productive and make the most of learning opportunities unless physical and mental well-being are prioritized. She advised students to practise mindfulness as a way to become more self-aware and in touch with their needs. Dr Jasmeet Kaur conducted a simple relaxation exercise with the students to demonstrate techniques in stress management.
The students found the session highly relevant and rejuvenating. We thank Dr Singh for offering us the benefit of her expertise and organizing the workshop.
