As part of the 25 Day Countdown Programme leading up to the International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2026, the AYUSH Wing of the Directorate of Health Services and the A&N State Ayush Society (NAM) successfully organised a “Heritage Yoga” session in front of National Memorial Cellular Jail today. The programme highlighted the significance of yoga in promoting holistic health and well-being while connecting participants with the rich heritage of the islands. The historic monument, a solemn symbol of India’s freedom struggle, added great significance to the programme and reflected the timeless values of India’s cultural heritage and the ancient practice of yoga.
A total of 47 participants enthusiastically took part in the yoga session. The event was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Nandini, MO I/c (Y & N), AYUSH Hospital, along with the dedicated support of yoga instructors.
