Participants engaged in a variety of activities during Dr. Sharma’s session, including demonstrations of advanced yoga postures, high-intensity CrossFit exercises, breathing techniques, and meditation practices. Dr. Sharma emphasized the synergistic effects of combining these disciplines, noting that it can lead to improved mental clarity, physical resilience, and overall well-being. The session catered to both beginners and seasoned practitioners, ensuring everyone left with valuable insights and practical techniques to incorporate into their fitness routines.

In addition to Dr. Sharma’s session, the event also featured other Yoga Day activities and a Medical Checkup Camp offering free health screenings. Services provided included blood pressure monitoring and blood sugar testing. This comprehensive medical checkup aimed to detect potential health issues early and provide timely interventions, underscoring the hospital’s commitment to preventive healthcare.
