This year marks the 12th International Day of Yoga, observed under the United Nations-declared theme “Yoga for Healthy Ageing” — a theme that emphasises the importance of yoga for people of all ages and its role in maintaining mobility, independence, and mental well-being as we grow older.
India celebrated with unmatched scale in 2026, with the national event held in Kolkata at the historic Red Road, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. And while thousands gathered at Red Road, a different, more intimate celebration was taking shape 900 kilometres away – at 362 feet above mean sea level on the hills of Kalapahar, Lalganesh, Guwahati, where the residents of Infinity Heights stepped out onto the community hall to mark the day together.
Infinity Heights sits at an unparalleled elevation of 362 feet above sea level, against the verdant hillside of Kalapahar. On the morning of June 21, that elevation was not merely geographic — it was atmospheric. The air was clean, the light was early, and the community gathered with a shared sense of purpose. The session commenced at 7:00 AM, conducted by an expert team of yoga instructors: Binita Roy and Luit Roy, the session lead, whose credentials set an elite tone for the morning.
Rarely do residents of any community get to practise yoga under the guidance of someone of Luit Roy’s calibre. A gold medallist in yoga, Luit received his training under the internationally revered yoga guru Baba Ramdev. He is currently engaged in training personnel of the Indian Army — a fact that speaks not only to the technical rigour of his practice but also to the discipline and responsibility he brings to every session he leads. His co-instructors — Binita Roy and a younger colleague — complemented his guidance throughout, actively moving among participants to correct postures and offer individual support.
The morning unfolded with intention. The session opened with the chanting of the ‘Aum’ mantra — a grounding practice that set a meditative, unhurried atmosphere. This was followed by warm-up movements and light cardio to prepare the body.
Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) was performed in three rounds, with the instructors walking through each step alongside residents. Since many participants were beginners, the instructors thoughtfully calibrated the session to be accessible—prioritising correct technique and safe progression over complexity.
The asana sequence that followed was carefully curated: Cat-Cow Pose, Chakrasana (Wheel Pose), Tree Pose, Lord of the Dance Pose, Child’s Pose, and Cobra Pose. Each posture was demonstrated with clear instructions on alignment, breathing, and modification for those who needed it.
The instructors also introduced participants to the distinction between Basic and Advanced yoga stages — and while the younger instructor offered a demonstration of advanced asanas, he was clear: these are not to be attempted without proper training and supervision. It was a responsible, safety-first approach that reflected the community’s ethos.
What made this session particularly resonant was how naturally it aligned with the 2026 UN theme. Yoga for Healthy Ageing emphasises yoga’s role in improving balance, flexibility, strength, and mobility, while also supporting mental well-being and stress management — and its benefits are especially impactful for older adults seeking to maintain physical and emotional health.
This is precisely what the interactive portion of the Infinity Heights session addressed. Residents raised specific, real-world concerns — spondylitis and frozen shoulder — and Luit Roy responded not with generalities but with targeted demonstrations of asanas that can be practised regularly to support these conditions. It was the session transforming from a community wellness event into a personalised therapeutic workshop.
The instructors also spoke about the philosophy of balanced living — mindful dietary choices, the benefits of a vegetarian diet, and the importance of daily breathwork as a practical tool for stress reduction. International Yoga Day 2026’s focus on helping people age with strength, mobility, mental clarity and peace found its lived expression in this very conversation, on a hillside in Guwahati.

The session ran for approximately one and a half hours. It closed the way it opened — with care. Cool-down stretches and deep-breathing exercises helped participants ease out of practice, and the instructors emphasised breathwork as something to carry into daily life: a low-effort, high-impact tool for mental calm.
After the session, a healthy breakfast buffet was set up for all participants – fresh fruits, dry fruits, juices, green tea, and more. Neighbours who had just shared a physical practice now shared a meal, swapped reflections on the morning, and took in the views from the estate. In the language of community building, moments like this are irreplaceable.
In a moment of genuine warmth, the instructors were felicitated with traditional Gamusas – the Assamese symbols of respect, hospitality, and cultural identity. It was a meaningful gesture: an acknowledgement that their expertise was received not just as a service, but as a gift to the community. The event concluded with recorded messages from the instructors, who shared their reflections on conducting the session at Infinity Heights.
For those evaluating premium 3 BHK or 4 BHK flats in Guwahati, it is worth pausing on this question: what does a typical Sunday morning look like in this community?
At Infinity Heights, the answer, on June 21, 2026, was a gold-medallist-led yoga session at sunrise, followed by a community breakfast at elevation, with Kalapahar in the background and neighbours who are fast becoming friends. This is what distinguishes Infinity Heights from any random residential project in Guwahati. It is a lifestyle ecosystem – where IGBC-rated green infrastructure, community programming, and a commitment to resident well-being converge into something genuinely worth living in.
