Yoga Day celebrations: Isha Foundation trains defence personnel
On June 21, 2025, the Isha Foundation marked International Yoga Day by offering free yoga sessions to over 10,000 defense personnel across India.
Soldiers from the Army, Air Force, and Rapid Action Force joined in at big venues like Adiyogi (Coimbatore) and Sadhguru Sannidhi (Bengaluru), making it a nationwide effort.
A nationwide effort
Bengaluru saw more than 5,000 military members practicing together with about 1,000 civilians.
Coimbatore had over 200 participants from different defense units.
Sessions also popped up at Sriganganagar and Jodhpur Airbase—so this wasn't just a one-city event.
Guided meditation by Sadhguru
More than 2,000 youth ambassadors helped spread the word about mental health by introducing "Miracle of Mind," a quick seven-minute guided meditation by Sadhguru.
He shared that yoga isn't just about stretching—it's about taking charge of your mind and wellbeing.
The goal: help defense personnel build resilience and inner strength for both work and life.
