The theme highlights the fact that yoga can contribute in a holistic way to achieving an equilibrium between mind and body.
"Techies totalling around 75,000 working in the campus have a very stressful and hectic lifestyle and practicing Yoga regularly will help them to reduce the stress levels and practice a healthy lifestyle," state IT Parks CEO Hrishikesh Nair said.
"We at Technopark are continuously striving to help the techies working here strike a good work life balance and practicing Yoga is a step towards that," he added.
