Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the transformative role of yoga in promoting healthy ageing, stating that growing older should not diminish human potential. Emphasising the theme of "Yoga for Healthy Ageing," he said yoga enables individuals to remain flexible, energetic and mentally balanced throughout their lives. PM Modi noted that the goal should be to become more flexible at 40 than at 20, and more energetic at 50 than at 30. He said regular yoga practice helps keep the body agile, boosts energy levels and supports a calm, stress-free lifestyle.Underscoring the lifelong benefits of yoga, the Prime Minister said the discipline encourages people to become lifelong learners of their own bodies and minds. Greater self-awareness, he added, helps individuals manage their physical and mental well-being more effectively. Calling the theme relevant for everyone, not just senior citizens, PM Modi said yoga offers a pathway to continuous growth, healthier living and improved quality of life at every stage of age.
