Yoga is an invaluable part of India's rich cultural heritage. It is both an art and a science of healthy living. Essentially, yoga is a spiritual discipline based on a subtle science that focuses on creating harmony between the mind and body, thought and action, restraint and fulfilment and human beings and nature. It offers a holistic approach to health and well-being. Through various postures, breathing exercises, mantras and meditation, yoga enhances positive thinking, improves mental well-being, and develops self-discipline. It helps individuals become more energetic, confident, happy and effective in their daily lives.
This year, the theme of International Yoga Day was "Yoga for Healthy Ageing," as announced by the Ministry of AYUSH. The theme emphasises the role of yoga in promoting active, self-reliant, and mentally empowered living throughout the ageing process.
