Kolkata, June 21, 2026: Desun Hospital celebrated International Yoga Day 2026 with a special yoga session for its doctors, nurses, administrative personnel, and support staff, reaffirming its commitment to fostering wellness, preventive healthcare, and healthy ageing.
Held within the hospital premises, the session witnessed enthusiastic participation from employees across departments who came together to practice yoga asanas, breathing exercises, and mindfulness techniques under the guidance of trained instructors. The initiative highlighted the importance of incorporating physical activity and mental well-being into everyday life, particularly in today’s fast-paced and stress-driven world.
This year’s International Yoga Day theme, “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”, emphasises the role of yoga in helping individuals maintain physical fitness, mental agility, emotional balance, and overall quality of life as they grow older. Regular yoga practice has been shown to improve flexibility, strength, posture, cardiovascular health, stress management, and mobility, whcidh are key factors contributing to healthy ageing.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Sajal Dutta, Chairman & Managing Director, Desun Hospital, said, “Yoga is one of India’s greatest contributions to global health and well-being. The theme ‘Yoga for Healthy Ageing’ reminds us that growing older need not mean compromising on health or independence. Through simple, regular practices, yoga can help people remain active, resilient, and healthier for longer. As healthcare providers, our responsibility extends beyond treating illness to helping people prevent disease and lead healthier lives.”
