Yoga, a 6,000+ years old physical, mental and spiritual practice having its origin in India, aims to transform the body and mind. Yoga is an invaluable gift of India&#8217;s ancient traditions. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restrain and fulfillment and harmony between man and nature. Yoga is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our life style and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Indian Army realized the benefits of yoga and included regular Yoga practice in its physical training program a few years back. Yoga is practiced by all personnel to fight the mental stress and physical strain due to vagaries of difficult conditions of service, specially in forward areas and has helped in reducing the ill effects of external factors of environment and busy routine on the minds of its personnel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Keeping the tradition high, Jun 21, which is the summer solstice was observed as World Yoga Day by the Army personnel which was organised under the aegis of Panther Division.
