An extension activity on Math in Yoga was organized by the Mathematics department on September 30, 2023 at Abhaya Ashraya, Assaigoli, Konaje Villaje, Mangaluru.
A total of 8 students from Mathematics department illustrated simplest yoga postures which involves geometrical properties like straight lines, parallel lines, triangles, perpendicular angles and explained how they are related to mathematics. Even though all those postures are common but through this activity they are able to connect it to mathematics.
