Kangpokpi: Anchoring a profound wellness movement across the state, Assam Rifles organized synchronized yoga sessions in Kangpokpi and Tengnoupal Districts on 29 May 2026. These health initiatives represent a vital continuation of the structured 100-day run-up to the upcoming 12th International Day of Yoga. Demonstrating unwavering commitment, Assam Rifles has remained at the forefront of this movement since day one, relentlessly executing wellness drives spanning valley sectors, remote hill terrains and border villages across Manipur to actively encourage a disciplined, active and health-oriented lifestyle.
At the Waroiching base in Kangpokpi District, an intensive physical routine and awareness drive mobilized 23 serving soldiers who were educated on the origins and therapeutic significance of the ancient discipline, specifically its practical applications in managing stress, sharpening cognitive concentration and building emotional resilience. This mental grounding was followed by a collective practical session where troops performed rigorous asanas, Surya Namaskar and Pranayam techniques under expert supervision, resulting in an immediate calming and rejuvenating physical impact.
Simultaneously, Assam Rifles extended this vibrant health mandate to the sensitive border village of Kwatha in Tengnoupal District. Seamlessly bridging civil-military ties, the session drew enthusiastic participation from a combined strength of 46 individuals, including security personnel and 30 local civilian children. Guided by experienced instructors, the participants jointly executed complex postures, breathing exercises and meditation techniques. By directly targeting far-flung border populations and troops, these impactful socio-civic interactions successfully established yoga as a vital tool for personal discipline, social harmony and long-term public well-being.
