LIP and LHF introduced Yoga sessions in the LIP office lobby. Three batches of participants; each batch comprising of 6 to 8 participants underwent well-planned yoga initiations and training. Mr. Simon and Mrs. Emma Simon, very experienced yoga teacher and experienced nurse supervise respectively were kind enough to conduct the yoga sessions voluntarily and painstakingly. Each batch attended eight sessions of yoga classes on Monday and Thursday’s between 5 to 6.30pm for 4weeks. The Yoga classes were followed by brief talks and discussions on topics like yoga and heart: nutrition and health, importance of exercise, basic first aid etc. Mr. Cam and Mrs. Sarah took over the responsibility of yoga sessions from middle of September to October for the third batch of 8 participants Mrs. Sarla Chewang the president of LIP also participated for the full course of yoga session with the third batch. LIP & LHF plans to motivate our office staff member Miss Sherap Dolma to develop this skill as a trainer. She has been attending 24 session of yoga this season. Inactivity, a big risk factor for cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, obesity and related health problems is afflicting the Ladakhi society in a big way. Propagation of yoga in the younger generation by LIP & LHF is one of the many ways of letting the society shed off the habit of inactivity. Next year, we plan to develop yoga programmes for middle aged and hypertensive subjects quite appropriate for their health conditions.
