Ashok Chandra, MD & CEO, PNB, said "Yoga, one of India’s most ancient and
revered practices, has successfully gained global recognition through UN’s
International Yoga Day, celebrated annually on this day. This year's theme, Yoga for
One Earth, One Health;, beautifully highlights how our personal well-being is deeply
connected to the health of our environment. By incorporating simple habits like
Suryanamaskar, Pranayam, meditation or even chanting ‘Om’ just few times a day,
we can significantly enhance our mental and physical wellness. In today’s fast-paced
life, yoga serves as a powerful tool to align the body, mind and soul — helping us
become healthier individuals and more conscious stewards of the planet. A healthy
individual in a healthy environment is key to building a thriving organisation and a
better future for all.”
