Held at the institute’s campus in Sabu Thang, the programme was themed “Linking Yoga Practice to Mindful and Low-Consumption Living” and witnessed participation from faculty members, staff and students.
The session focused on encouraging environmentally responsible behaviour and holistic well-being through the practice of yoga. Participants performed various yoga asanas and pranayama exercises under the guidance of yoga instructor Gopal Sharma.
Organisers highlighted the role of yoga in promoting physical fitness, mental well-being and mindful living, while reinforcing the principles of Mission LiFE, a national initiative aimed at encouraging sustainable lifestyles.
