According to an X post from the official INS Satvahana handle, the submariners displayed exceptional breath control, concentration, endurance, and composure while performing a series of coordinated underwater yoga exercises.
Naval officials said the initiative demonstrated how yoga can strengthen mindfulness, discipline and self-control, qualities considered essential for personnel operating in challenging underwater conditions.
In-house Naval Yoga practitioners conducted the session under the leadership of Lieutenant Commander Aarush Sharma. Through controlled breathing techniques, focused movement and mental conditioning, participants experienced the practical benefits of yoga in high-pressure operational settings.
