Speaking on the occasion, Chandra Chakraborty, Sr. Vice President, East & West, Amway India stated, “As an advocate for holistic health and wellbeing, we applaud the Government of India’s efforts to promote yoga globally with an emphasis on overall wellbeing. The interconnectedness between yoga and diet, especially the first meal of the day, is evident from a [1]study on yoga practitioners in India. The study found that 65% incorporated specific foods or beverages into their diet after starting yoga. Moreover, 72.4% mentioned that yoga influenced the timing of their first meal, with 63% starting to eat earlier. Therefore, we believe that by aligning yoga practices and nutritional intake with our body’s biological clock, we can optimize our health and vitality. At Amway, we champion this approach through our philosophy of Exercise, Positive Attitude, Rest, and Nutrition, advocating for a disciplined approach to the first meal and exercise such as yoga, complemented by need-based supplementation to address nutritional gaps in enhancing overall health and well-being. All of this aligns with our goal to transform lives by adopting healthy habits, helping to extend health span, and fostering a healthier tomorrow.”

In the West region a series of vibrant physical and virtual events were orchestrated. These events featured invigorating yoga sessions and insightful programs aimed at fostering a deeper connection with the community. They also aimed to promote the benefits of yoga and highlight the importance of starting the day with a nutritious meal. Following each session, participants enjoyed a healthy shake or smoothie enriched with Nutrilite All Plant Protein and Nutrilite Fiber, kickstarting their day and complementing the benefits of yoga. Additionally, digital Saptyoga and Fitness challenges were organized to engage and inspire participants.

With an increasing emphasis on preventive health, Amway is dedicated to empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being.

International Yoga Day: G4S hosts a physical and virtual Yoga Session in Delhi, Bangalore & Goa

Jun 21, 2022 by Praveen 0 Comments #Bangalore, #Delhi, #G4S, #Goa:, #International Yoga Day, #virtual Yoga Session

Ahead of the theme of Yoga for Humanity, a mega effort is being made to take yoga to 100,000-plus employees all across the country. Given the unique challenges that employees in various security and facility roles face, especially on the frontlines, experts were invited to curate a specific programme and techniques that are meaningful and effective for different roles operating in various environments.

Employees are stationed in diverse locations, each with its own set of challenges and risks, and are doing different jobs. At some locations, this necessitates alertness, responsiveness, and agility whereas at some others it demands physical stamina to work in extreme weather conditions. With the aid of yoga, G4S is aiming to impart the advantages of physical and mental fitness.

Easy breathing practices, simple asanas for improved circulation, guided relaxation, and the advantages of physical and mental health were all addressed throughout the instructive yoga session conducted by trained yoga specialists and trained G4S employees who are yoga professionals themselves.

The health and safety of all customers and workers is a top priority for G4S, and the company also maintains relationships with their families, who are considered extended members of the G4S family. The ongoing training aims to teach the benefits of right exercise, breathing, relaxation, proper food, positive thinking, and meditation to reduce anxiety and stress via healthy exercise, mindfulness, and knowledge of self-care.

Rajeev Sharma, Country Managing Director, G4S India said, “At G4S, we are entrusted with the safety and security of our clients and communities. For this, our colleagues on the frontlines have a challenging job that requires their full focus. We organized multiple yoga sessions, to help them cope and feel relaxed and energized from a hard day at work. With a large workforce coming from education and economic conditions that have little emphasis and awareness on self-care, Yoga Day is an opportunity to emphasize overall well-being and encourage more people to use this as daily life practice and just not a one-time activity.”

Viacom18’s leading kids’ entertainment franchise, Nickelodeon, through its thought-provoking initiatives has successfully engaged and entertained young minds. As a pioneer in promoting the benefits of yoga amongst kids, this International Yoga Day, Nickelodeon is all set to take Yoga Day celebrations a notch higher by bringing back its flagship campaign #YogaSeHiHoga and induct thousands of kids into the blissful world of Yoga.

As a part of the campaign, Nickelodeon is geared up to engage kids across the country through an array of on-air creatives establishing the benefits of yoga in a relatable manner. In addition to this, the campaign will witness fun interactivity where kids stand a chance of getting featured on TV by sharing their yoga poses online. All kids have to do is to log on to nickindia.com and upload a photo or video of them doing Yoga! Moreover, kids’ favourite

Commenting on associating with Nickelodeon for third year in a row, Smt. Kavita Garg, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Ayush, said, “Over the last two years, children have experienced high-stress levels and have been living a sedentary lifestyle, making it imperative to help them get back to their routine and instill positive energy through the power of yoga. We are extremely pleased with Nickelodeon’s initiative year-on-year helping tiny tots inculcate healthy habits at a young age through innovative formats. We truly believe our association with Nickelodeon will truly help induct kids about the essence of bringing balance in human relationships with Yoga, by leveraging the affinity of their favourite Nicktoons!”

Speaking on bringing back the initiative, Sonali Bhattacharya, Head, Marketing, Kids TV Network, Viacom18, said, “Nickelodeon has always believed in engaging kids through meaningful initiatives that bring about a positive behavioural change in them. With #YogaSeHiHoga, we aim to imbibe the life changing benefits of yoga in kids from a very early age. It is our privilege to associate with the AYUSH Ministry, year-on-year, who actively advocate the importance of having a healthy mind and body. With a commitment towards our young audiences, this year too, we look forward to inspiring kids to lead a more relaxed and stress-free life, be it physically, mentally or emotionally.”

The Nicktoons have been actively advocating the benefits of yoga, inspiring kids towards a healthier and balanced life. In 2019, the campaign saw Motu and Patlu perform yoga with Prime Minster Narendra Modi along with 40,000 people at Prabhat Tara Ground and partnered with Mumbai’s biggest Yoga event – ‘Yoga by the Bay’, attended by over 10,000 yogis with Nicktoons Shiva and Rudra in attendance. Last year, owing to the pandemic, Nickelodeon celebrated Yoga Day virtually in partnership with the AYUSH Ministry and highlighted the importance of building a healthier immune system. The digital partnership was extensively promoted through interactive posts, and videos, followed by a nationwide contest that reached out to over 6,30,000 mothers and kids through digital mediums and received 3000+ entries under the Yoga contest hosted on the brand platform. To ensure wide spread awareness and to promote yoga ahead of International Yoga Day, Nickelodeon will drive engagement for #YogaSeHiHoga this year via a robust influencer marketing campaign, the entire Nickelodeon franchise on-air and on digital as well as on its social media channels.
