BSF jawans perform Yoga on sand dunes in Jaisalmer on International Yoga Day

On the occasion of International Yoga Day, Border Security Force (BSF) jawans performed yoga on the famous ‘Sam’ Sand Dunes of Jaisalmer on Friday.

Soldiers from the BSF’s 154th Battalion also performed yoga at the posts along the Indo-Pak border in Jaisalmer.

From senior officers to the youth, everyone practised various yoga asanas together with great enthusiasm and dedication. Performing yoga on the golden sand of the Thar desert was a unique experience for all the participants.

The natural beauty and peaceful environment of Sam Sand Dunes made this yoga session even more special. All the participants performed yoga together, which was a unique display of unity and discipline.

The main objective of this event was to increase awareness about the physical and mental benefits of yoga among the jawans, officers and the general public, said BSF DIG Jaisalmer (Sector South) Vikram Kunwar.

The jawans and officers of BSF displayed excellent discipline and dedication in this Yoga Day event. Their interest and commitment made this event a great success.

“Through this grand event on International Yoga Day, we have tried to promote the importance of yoga among our jawans, officers and the general public living in the border area. Yoga is not only beneficial for physical health, but it also provides mental peace and balance. We encourage all our jawans to make yoga a part of their daily routine,” the DIG said.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Modi performed Yoga at Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) in Srinagar today.

PM Modi urged people of the country to make yoga a part of their daily lives as the world celebrated the 10th International Day of Yoga on Friday.

“As we mark the 10th International Day of Yoga, I urge everyone to make it a part of their daily lives. Yoga fosters strength, good health and wellness. Wonderful to join this year’s programme in Srinagar,” the Prime Minister posted on social media platform X.

He congratulated all the people of the country and those doing Yoga in every corner of the world and said the world is witnessing a new Yoga economy going forward for the last 10 years.

This year’s theme, “Yoga for Self and Society,” emphasizes yoga’s vital role in fostering both individual well-being and societal harmony.
