LEH: The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) marked the 12th International Day of Yoga with enthusiasm and participation from security personnel and residents at the scenic Pangong Tso in eastern Ladakh.
The 24th Battalion ITBP organised a yoga session at Lukung Post on the banks of Pangong Lake, bringing together ITBP personnel, Indian Army soldiers, local villagers and members of the Mahabodhi Institute. The event was aimed at promoting the message of health, harmony and overall well-being through the practice of yoga.
Participants performed various yoga asanas and breathing exercises against the backdrop of the iconic high-altitude lake, reflecting the spirit of the annual global observance.
This year’s theme, ‘Yoga for Healthy Ageing’, reflects the growing global emphasis on healthy and active living across the lifespan. As populations age and non-communicable diseases and lifestyle-related health concerns rise globally, the emphasis is shifting from simply adding years to life to enhancing health span, quality of life and overall well-being.
