Under the auspices of the Jago India Jago Fitness Campaign, renowned fitness icon Soumen Das, founder of Soumen’s Workout, led a lively and inclusive celebration of International Yoga Day 2025 at the Press Club in Kolkata. Participants from all walks of life came together for the 7:30 AM event, which served as a potent example of harmony, well-being, and holistic health.

The initiative, called Yoga for Every Generation, sought to make yoga a genuinely transformative and accessible experience for everyone, irrespective of age, physical ability, or health status. The carefully planned session catered to the individual needs of a wide range of participants, including overweight kids who loved beginner-friendly yoga meant to promote a healthier lifestyle and kids with disabilities who participated in safe, self-esteem-boosting exercises. With its stress-relieving postures and breathing techniques, it also helped people with diabetes, and seniors between the ages of 50 and 80 practiced gentle chair-based yoga to improve their general well-being, mobility, and energy levels.

The occasion embodied the fundamental principles of Soumen’s Workout: intergenerational inclusivity, mindfulness, and fitness via natural means.

Throughout its 26-year history, Soumen’s Workout has changed thousands of lives by encouraging natural, machine-free fitness and a close bond between the mind and body. That very idea—practical, inclusive, and sustainable wellness—was reflected in the 2025 International Yoga Day festivities.

Kreamz, the official celebration partner, contributed to the meaningful morning by offering nutritious post-yoga refreshments, ensuring that mindful movement was followed by mindful eating.

Participants were reminded that yoga is about participation rather than perfection, as the event came to a close with a feeling of renewal and unity.
