Following the successful gathering of last week’s Sangamam, we are happy to share the highlights of the 123rd week of this initiative. This week, we had an engaging session with local beneficiaries, supported by a team from Heartfulness, who conducted yoga practice specifically for the elders.

The session included individual interactions where the team understood the family situations of the elders and assessed their health care practices at home. The team emphasized the importance of self-care, stating that individuals are the primary caregivers for their own health. They encouraged the elders to dedicate time daily to physical and mental well-being through simple exercises.

A significant portion of the session addressed common concerns such as knee pain, back pain, and joint discomfort. The Heartfulness team suggested regular yoga and meditation (“Thiyanam”) as effective methods for relieving pain and promoting peace of mind. The elders actively participated in the Thiyanam session and reported feeling relaxed and rejuvenated afterward.

Following the yoga and meditation session, the elders enjoyed a nutritious lunch consisting of healthy vegetables. The day concluded on a joyful note as health care kits were distributed to the elders. This gesture aimed to empower them with confidence to manage their health independently.

The session was a meaningful step in promoting holistic health and well-being among the elders, leaving them motivated and content.
