Watch: How Indian Navy Celebrated International Yoga Day 2025 Onboard INS Vikramaditya

The Indian Navy marked International Yoga Day 2025 by conducting a special yoga session onboard the aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya, aligning with this year’s global theme, "Yoga for One Earth, One Health."

A video shared by the Navy showed personnel performing various yoga asanas on the ship's deck. From the footage, it's evident that a large number of naval personnel participated, demonstrating their ability to perform many different challenging poses with precision and discipline. The video also showed one instructor leading the session while others followed in unison.

As India celebrates the 11th International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2025, the Tri-Services of the Indian Armed Forces came together to conduct yoga sessions across the country, commemorating the occasion with unity and enthusiasm.

Earlier, the Western Naval Command shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating that yoga camps were set up in naval areas across Mumbai, Karnataka, Goa, and Gujarat, all following a common yoga protocol issued by the Ministry of Ayush.

"Over 7,000 naval personnel, defence civilians, and their families enthusiastically participated in the endeavour to harness peace of mind and achieve overall holistic wellness," the Navy stated.

This year, the Indian Navy also organized yoga sessions at international ports including Mauritius, Malaysia, and Muscat, engaging both the Indian diaspora and local participants in promoting global wellness.
