The Indian army soldiers at the Siachen base camp are all set for the International Yoga Day on June 21.
The International Yoga Day celebration is expected to be attended by over 200 soldiers hosted by Isha Foundation’s Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
A group of Hatha yoga teachers will take workshops and sessions for soldiers living in hill station before Sadhguru visits them.
The speech by Sadhguru will include a number of issues and how yoga is helpful for health, well-being and a fine balance.
Sadhguru said, “It will be a privilege to be at Siachen on this very special occasion of International Day of Yoga. Our soldiers posted in high altitudes, particularly in Siachen, one of the most challenging and vulnerable battlefields on the planet, put their lives at stake to protect the nation. It is paramount to equip them with Yogic tools of transformation for health, inner balance and well-being on all levels.”
The session will also help people cure health conditions such as acute mountain sickness, frostbite chill burns, snow blindness, pulmonary oedema due to high altitude, and hypothermia.
