When I work with the Indian Army and Air Force, the focus shifts entirely to mental stability, breath, and inner calm. We work on building a quiet mind that remains steady, even when the demands of service are at their highest. I have had the privilege of conducting Classical Hatha Yoga training at the Isha Yoga Center and Air Force Station in Agra. These sessions are different from the ones I lead in city studios. I live, eat, and train alongside the soldiers, and the goal is to provide them with tools that they can use to manage stress and find deep focus. It takes a lot to stand guard for our nation, and these simple, ancient yogic practices act as a foundation for that strength. Whether it is Surya Kriya for energy activation or simple breathing techniques for clarity, the goal is always to bring the stillness of the practice into their daily life. Some soldiers who attend these programs even go on to become instructors themselves, spreading this knowledge within their own battalions. It is a slow, quiet change, but seeing them feel calmer and more focused after just a few days of practice is a powerful experience. My only hope is to pass on these tools as purely as I received them from my master, Sadhguru. Jai Hind. ## About Ankit Bhauwala I am Bhau. Yoga changed my life, and now I simply try to pass that on to others. I have seen firsthand how these ancient practices can bring peace and stability to our soldiers, and it is a path I am deeply grateful to walk.
