Yoga & Wellness

Strong foundations for a stronger Future.

Promoting Health, Harmony & Inner Strength.

Health and wellness are deeply connected to Yoga, which offers a holistic approach to achieving balance and harmony in the body, mind, and spirit. By embracing Yoga as a path to well-being, individuals embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation—leading to a life of greater vitality, inner peace, and overall wellness.

Recognizing the global significance of Yoga, the United Nations General Assembly declared 21st June as the International Day of Yoga on 11th December 2014.

In alignment with this vision, the Trust has organized complimentary Yoga Shivirs across more than 303 organizations, including:

Defence and Paramilitary Units
Corporate Offices
Embassies
Schools and Educational Institutions

To date, over 48,720 participants have benefited from these sessions, experiencing improved physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

VDFG Patanjali Chapter : In 2005, Lt Col R.S. Gaba, the founding member of VDFG, attended a Yoga Shivir in Haridwar that deeply influenced his perspective. He became convinced that "Yoga is a Way of Life", recognizing its power to cultivate holistic well-being—extending far beyond the physical body to bring emotional balance and inner peace through the practice of Asanas, meditation, and breathwork.

Motivated by this transformative experience, Col Gaba became a corporate member and was later appointed Patron by Swami Ramdev ji to facilitate Yoga camps across the Delhi NCR region.

With unwavering dedication and a spirit of selfless service, Col Gaba spearheaded the integration of Yoga into VDFG’s community outreach. His efforts not only promoted personal well-being but also strengthened the organization’s health and community service initiatives, uniting veterans, families, and community members under a common banner of wellness.

This close association with Patanjali has given a significant boost to VDFG’s health programs and aligned with the Prime Minister’s ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative by promoting Swadeshi products and practices.

This partnership has become a cornerstone of VDFG’s mission to promote a healthier, more self-reliant society rooted in the wisdom of India’s ancient tradition
