And they got refreshed and rejuvenated in the process.
On the occasion, a special yoga session was organized by CII Eastern Region at the Suresh Neotia Centre of Excellence for Leadership at Salt Lake in Kolkata where

In all about 150 participants showed up and joined the yoga session organized by CII Eastern Region.
The aim was to integrate body and mind and enable one to be at peace with oneself, reduce stress, experience happiness and enhance productivity in all spheres of life, said Rear Admiral (Retired) A K Verma, Chairman, CII Eastern Region, in his introductory speech.
“Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about mere exercise of body and muscles but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and nature,” he said.
