On June 21, 2024, NIC celebrated the 10th International Day of Yoga in collaboration with the Ministry of Ayush. This milestone event was held at the NIC Headquarters in New Delhi and various NIC State Centres across the country, uniting employees and communities in a shared journey towards holistic wellness. The day began early and bright at 7:30 am with a refreshing Yoga session at NIC HQ. A knowledgeable instructor from the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, Ministry of Ayush, led the session.
Participants were guided through a series of Yoga postures, breathing exercises, and meditation techniques. The session highlighted the numerous benefits of Yoga, including improved physical flexibility, mental clarity, stress reduction, and spiritual growth.
NIC State Centres also embraced the spirit of International Yoga Day with great enthusiasm. Each centre organized its own Yoga sessions, featuring local instructors and tailored to the specific needs of their participants. These events focused on various aspects of Yoga, from its therapeutic benefits for mental health to its spiritual dimensions and stress management capabilities. The sessions saw active participation from both NIC employees and local communities, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.
To further promote Yoga, NIC tweeted content to spread awareness about International Yoga Day. Efforts highlighted the Ministry of Ayush’s Yoga app, Y-Break, through engaging social media posts, encouraging daily Yoga practice. This initiative generated significant user interest and contributed to the event’s success.
