IMPHAL, June 21: Manipur joined the global community today in celebrating the 11th International Day of Yoga, with a vibrant state-level event held at the Khuman Lampak Indoor Stadium in Imphal.
The occasion was graced by Hon’ble Governor Shri Ajay Kumar Bhalla, who led hundreds of participants in a unified session of yoga asanas, highlighting the state’s enthusiastic participation in this global wellness initiative.
More than 900 individuals—including students, government officials, yoga practitioners, security personnel, and members of the public—took part in the event.
In his address, Governor Bhalla stressed the significance of adopting yoga as a daily practice, calling it a transformative tool for achieving both physical well-being and mental harmony.
This year’s theme, ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health’, reflects a broader global vision of sustainable living and holistic health. It also aligns with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s concept of ‘Humanity 2.0’, which promotes mindful living, planetary wellness, and a shared sense of responsibility among people worldwide.
In addition to the main gathering, a special yoga session was also held at the Raj Bhavan in Imphal, where Governor Bhalla once again led officials and staff in a calm and focused yoga routine, performed amidst peaceful and natural surroundings.
