Hyderabad 21st June, 2025: On the occasion of International Yoga Day, Olive Hospital joins the global movement in promoting yoga as a powerful tool for preventive and holistic healthcare. Aligned with this year’s theme—“Yoga for One Earth, One Health”—the hospital underscores the growing relevance of yoga in everyday well-being, especially in light of recent findings from the World Health Organization (WHO).

According to the WHO’s recent report, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular ailments, diabetes, and mental health disorders continue to be the leading cause of global mortality, often accelerated by physical inactivity and stress. The report recommends integrating traditional wellness practices like yoga as part of community and clinical care strategies, due to their proven benefits in reducing risk factors and improving quality of life.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Kruthik Kulkarni, Consultant, Interventional Cardiologist at Olive Hospital, said “Yoga is more than a form of exercise—it is a practical and preventive lifestyle tool. With benefits ranging from stress relief and better sleep to improved heart and metabolic health, yoga helps bridge the gap between mental and physical wellness.”

He further added, “The WHO’s recognition of yoga’s role in managing lifestyle diseases reinforces our approach to integrative health. When individuals take proactive steps towards their own well-being, it directly contributes to healthier communities and a more sustainable planet.”

Studies have consistently shown that regular yoga practice can lower blood pressure, enhance lung capacity, improve joint flexibility, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression—making it an effective complement to conventional medicine.

In light of these benefits, Olive Hospital encourages individuals of all age groups to incorporate yoga into their daily routines—whether through structured sessions or simple breathing and stretching exercises at home.

As a Healthcare Hospital, Olive Hospital remains committed to promoting lifestyle interventions that are inclusive, accessible, and sustainable—supporting not just individual wellness but global harmony.
