The Yoga Break (Y-Break) initiative incorporates various easy Yoga practices, such as asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and dhyana (meditation).
The personnel ministry has issued an order urging all central government ministries and departments to embrace and promote a new Yoga protocol known as Y-Break – Yoga at office chair. Employees are encouraged to take short breaks during work hours to engage in this practice, aimed at relieving stress, refreshing the mind, and enhancing focus. The Centre aims to foster the adoption of this initiative across various workplaces.
“Y-Break at workplace was introduced by the Ministry of AYUSH with an aim to get de-stressed, refreshed and re-focused at the workplace. The feedback of the protocol has been very encouraging. The Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, Ministry of AYUSH has added new features for the officials, who owing to their busy schedule, cannot go out and practice Yoga,” it said, reported PTI.
