In a powerful demonstration of commitment to the physical and emotional well-being of its troops and families, Assam Rifles, under the aegis of Headquarters Inspector General Assam Rifles (South), successfully conducted a series of Pranayam and Yogasana sessions from 10 to 21 April 2025 across multiple garrisons in Manipur.
The sessions were led by the inspiring Mrs. Padmini Jog, an 80-year-old certified yoga instructor from Nagpur, Maharashtra, whose energy and wisdom left a lasting impact on all participants.
Over 1,845 troops, families and students across Manipur participated in this series of rejuvenating yoga sessions from 10 to 21 April 2025. Starting from Pallel, Modi, and Moreh Garrisons, the initiative moved to Kakching, Keithalmanbi, and finally to Ukhrul and Sangshak, culminating at Mantripukhari Garrison.
The series concluded at Mantripukhari on 21 April 2025, where 375 troops and family members took part in a revitalising yoga session focused on physical well-being and inner balance. The event reinforced the value of yoga as a daily discipline for armed forces personnel, whose demanding routines often leave little space for mental decompression.
Assam Rifles’ wellness initiative has not only strengthened the physical and mental resilience of its personnel but also reaffirmed the importance of family well-being and holistic health as core elements of force readiness.
