As part of the run-up to the 12th International Yoga Day, the Indian Army’s Red Shield Division under Spear Corps, in collaboration with the civil administration, organised a special yoga session at the historic Ujjayanta Palace in Tripura.
The event brought together Army personnel who participated enthusiastically in the wellness programme, highlighting the Army’s continued emphasis on physical fitness, mental well-being and a healthy lifestyle through the practice of yoga.
Held at Ujjayanta Palace, one of Tripura’s most prominent cultural landmarks, the programme combined the message of wellness with the region’s rich cultural heritage. The historic setting provided a fitting backdrop for the event, which focused on promoting balance, discipline and overall well-being.
The session included a range of yoga asanas, pranayama exercises and meditation practices aimed at improving physical health, emotional stability and mental resilience. Participants were encouraged to incorporate yoga into their daily routines to maintain fitness, reduce stress and enhance their quality of life.
Officials said the programme was organised as part of the nationwide preparations for International Yoga Day, which is observed annually on June 21. The event also served as a platform to raise awareness about the benefits of yoga and its role in promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
The Indian Army said the initiative reflects its ongoing efforts to encourage wellness, social harmony and community engagement through activities that bring together different sections of society. By organising such programmes, the Army aims to strengthen the message of unity and collective well-being while promoting India’s ancient tradition of yoga.
