The Assam Rifles batallion conducted Yoga session with the village children from Tousum area in Tamenglong district of Manipur.
The enthusiastic children attended the Yoga session with unit instructors. The parents were in attendance with smiles of gratitude towards the unit in motivating their kids for persuing healthy lifestyle through regular physical activity.
The kids pledged to engage themselves for daily dose of atleast one hour physical activity. Stressing upon one hour of excercise dose each day the instructors taught many Yoga asanas to these children. It shall guide them what to eat, how to eat, when to eat & what to avoid.
The unit also extended sports equipment to these healthy citizens of tomorrow. For the past three days unit is reaching out many far flung villages in Tousum sub division of Tamenglong district as part of its wellness drive in remote villages along Manipur – Assam – Nagaland border.
