LAHORE – The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) Lahore has established a dedicated yoga centre at Jilani Park to encourage residents to adopt a healthier lifestyle and improve their physical and mental well-being.
The free yoga centre has been attracting a large number of citizens during morning hours as the participants are taking part in various yoga exercises in the park’s green and peaceful surroundings.
The initiative aims to provide people with an accessible opportunity to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines while enjoying a healthy environment away from the city’s busy streets.
PHA Managing Director Ahmed Usman Javed said the authority was making continuous efforts to promote a healthy lifestyle among Lahore’s residents by introducing public facilities and recreational activities.
He highlighted the importance of yoga in maintaining physical fitness, improving mental health and reducing stress, adding that the natural surroundings of Jilani Park made it an ideal location for such an initiative.
According to the managing director, the yoga centre has been established for the benefit of the general public and is completely free of charge. People from all age groups can visit the facility and participate in the sessions without paying any fee.
He said the authority wanted to ensure that health and fitness opportunities were accessible to everyone, regardless of age or financial circumstances.
The morning yoga sessions offer citizens an opportunity to begin their day with physical exercise and activities that promote mental relaxation and overall wellness.
Javed encouraged residents to take advantage of the facility and make regular exercise part of their everyday lives.
“Make your mornings healthier. Visit Jilani Park and embrace a better lifestyle,” he said.
The PHA initiative is part of broader efforts to utilise public parks as spaces for healthy recreational activities, community engagement and improved quality of life for Lahore’s residents.
