Leh, Sept 09: The Medical Ward of SNM Hospital witnessed a refreshing atmosphere today as patients and their attendants joined in the weekly yoga session conducted under the guidance of instructor Padma Deachen. The ward, usually marked by routine clinical activity, turned into a space of calm as participants engaged in simple postures and breathing practices designed to ease stress and uplift spirits.
The exercises, adapted for the comfort of patients, focused on relaxation and gentle movements that promote flexibility. Breathing techniques introduced during the session encouraged participants to find moments of quiet strength, even while undergoing treatment. For many, the experience brought a sense of lightness that went beyond physical relief.
Hospital authorities have been encouraging these sessions as part of a broader effort to integrate yoga into patient care. By offering a practice that nurtures both body and mind, the initiative is steadily helping patients in their recovery journeys. Attendants too found the exercises helpful, providing them with a much-needed pause from the demands of caregiving.
These weekly gatherings have now become a familiar rhythm in the hospital calendar, drawing appreciation from those who attend regularly. The continuity of the program reflects an understanding that healing extends beyond medicines, and that wellness thrives where care meets compassion.
