Sagar Mein Yog – Promoting Holistic Wellness in the Maritime Sector
Sagar Mein Yog is a pioneering and transformative wellness initiative envisioned under the visionary leadership of the Government of India, spearheaded by the Hon’ble Union Cabinet Minister for Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, and guided by the Directorate General of Shipping under Shri Shyam Jagannathan.
The initiative has been developed in collaboration with the National Union of Seafarers of India (NUSI) and is further strengthened by Trijog – Know Your Mind, bringing a strong focus on mental health awareness and psychological well-being within the maritime community.
As part of the program, special Art of Living sessions were conducted, emphasizing a holistic approach to health and well-being. These sessions focused on pranayama , meditation, stress management practices, and the role of detoxification in physical and mental rejuvenation. The Art of Living sessions provided seafarers with practical tools to enhance resilience, emotional balance, and mental clarity essential for managing the demanding conditions of life at sea.
Shri Ambika Yoga Kutir, a pioneer in yoga service and a prominent institute under the Ministry of AYUSH, also contributed significantly to the Sagar Mein Yog initiative.
Through this collaborative effort, Sagar Mein Yog aims to create a healthier, more resilient. The Sagar Mein Yog presence at ITF Expo 2026, showcased the importance of integrating yoga and wellness into professional sectors.
Overall, the initiative stands as a meaningful step toward integrating ancient yogic wisdom with modern professional life, particularly within the maritime community.
