Sagar Mein Yog Concept
- Yoga incorporates breathing exercises and meditative states with various physical poses, designed to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
- The mind, body, and spirit trifecta is essential to acknowledge when promoting overall well-being, and yoga serves as a specific solution to all elements of this trifecta
- "Sagar Mein Yog" is an initiative by the DGS, Govt. of India, aimed at promoting physical and mental well-being among seafarers through yoga and mindfulness practices.
- This program is designed to help seafarers manage stress, cope with the challenges of life at sea, and improve their overall health and wellness.
- Given the unique pressures and isolation that maritime workers often experience, "Sagar Mein Yog" encourages incorporating yoga as a daily practice, offering resources and guidance on accessible techniques that can be practiced onboard vessels.
- The initiative aligns with broader efforts by the DGS to address mental health concerns within the maritime community, as seen with programs like the Health and Wellbeing Conclave.
- By fostering habits like yoga and meditation, the DGS aims to create a supportive environment where seafarers can take proactive steps for self-care, both physically and mentally
