Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his address on International Yoga Day, highlighted the transformative role of yoga in promoting healthy ageing. He stated that growing older should not diminish human potential, and yoga enables individuals to remain flexible, energetic, and mentally balanced throughout their lives.
Theme: 'Yoga for Healthy Ageing'
Speaking on the theme of 'Yoga for Healthy Ageing,' PM Modi noted that the goal should be to become more flexible at 40 than at 20, and more energetic at 50 than at 30. He said regular yoga practice helps keep the body agile, boosts energy levels, and supports a calm, stress-free lifestyle.
Lifelong Benefits of Yoga
Underscoring the lifelong benefits of yoga, the Prime Minister said the discipline encourages people to become lifelong learners of their own bodies and minds. Greater self-awareness, he added, helps individuals manage their physical and mental well-being more effectively.
Relevance for All Age Groups
