▴ 'Yoga Break at Work Place' commenced by the Ministry of AYUSH from today
Due to a change in working habits, particularly on computers and continuously sitting for long hours, the majority of the workforce is feeling work stress. Such stress may decrease the focus at work which may further hamper their efficiency and effectiveness.

Activities for promoting the “Yoga Break” protocol of the Ministry of AYUSH, which were suspended after the onset of the Covid-19 protocol, have been resumed with effect from today.  This five-minute protocol is intended to introduce people at the workplace to Yoga, and also to help them to take a break from the work schedule and to refresh and re-focus. 

Yoga is an ancient Indian discipline intended to bring balance and well-being of individuals to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Due to a change in working habits, particularly on computers and continuously sitting for long hours, the majority of the workforce is feeling work stress. Such stress may decrease the focus at work which may further hamper their efficiency and effectiveness.

Ministry of AYUSH in association with MDNIY developed 5 minutes yoga break protocol to de-stress, refresh, and re-focus the workers at the workplace in 2019. The protocol which was developed by a group of eminent Yoga experts contains a few stretching Yoga practices including Tadasana, Kati Chakrasana, etc. and Nadisodhana Bhramari Pranayama and Dhyana. The protocol was initially launched on a trial basis in January 2020 and was found to be effective, based on an analysis of feedback of participants.

Ministry of AYUSH resumed the demonstration and practice the Yoga Break (Y-Break) Protocol today at the AYUSH Bhavan. and MDNIY campuses in New Delhi.  Taking account of the currently prevailing health emergency, additional emphasis was laid on breathing exercise (pranayama), in view of its effectiveness in increasing lung capacity. 

The demonstration and training will continue for ten minutes daily in the lawns of AYUSH Bhavan and participants from various offices in the vicinity have enlisted to join the same.  Strict adherence to the norms of social distancing and other guidelines of the government is being ensured. Ministry of AYUSH will extend this facility free of cost to the staff & officers of various offices situated in GPO Complex, INA, New Delhi in the coming weeks.
