We Are All Set for the 12th International Day of Yoga
# International Day of Yoga 2026:
Mental health is increasingly recognized as a universal human right and an essential foundation of human development. Yet across the world, millions remain without access to the support they need, hindered by stigma, discrimination, and structural barriers that prevent care. These gaps undermine not only individual well-being, but also social cohesion and economic progress, making mental health a challenge that affects every dimension of life.
Meeting this challenge requires collective will: to confront stigma, to scale up prevention and treatment, and to ensure that resilience and recovery are within reach for everyone. The future of global health, equality, and sustainable development depends on making mental well-being truly universal.

Based in the heart of Mauritius, Abhyas Institute of Universal Awareness is a space dedicated to understanding and nurturing mental wellbeing. Rooted in both research and lived practice, our work explores the physiological, psychological, emotional, and social dimensions that shape how we experience life.
We study the impact of modern lifestyles, work environments, and social conditions on mental health, with the intention of creating meaningful and practical interventions. Through this, we design structured programmes and experiences that support emotional balance, reduce inner conflict, and enhance overall quality of life.
Rising levels of substance dependency and addictive behaviours highlight the need for de-addiction programmes that go beyond short-term intervention and address the psychological, behavioural, and social dimensions of addiction. Recognizing addiction as a complex human challenge, the approach focuses on the deeper factors that sustain dependency.
De-addiction through the Real Essence of Yog offers a structured, recovery-oriented pathway that guides individuals through self-awareness, emotional regulation, behavioural transformation, and long-term rehabilitation. Beyond abstinence, the programme aims to rebuild inner stability, responsibility, and the ability to face life’s challenges without compulsive or self-destructive behaviours.
Embark on an experiential journey designed to help you reconnect with the deeper possibilities of life and integrate yourself with the state you are naturally entitled to experience. The Abhyas Residential Program is created for seekers of growth, clarity, balance, and purpose — individuals who aspire to live with greater awareness, conscious choice, and inner stability. Through a structured and immersive residential environment, the program supports participants in cultivating a deeper level of discernment, allowing them to better understand themselves, their patterns, and the direction of their life.
Whether you are beginning a completely new journey or seeking to unfold further in your personal evolution, the program offers a supportive space for reflection, transformation, and conscious living. Rather than focusing only on surface-level change, the experience encourages participants to explore the root of their inner conflicts, limitations, and behavioural tendencies, enabling a more authentic and sustainable transformation from within.
Every moment of your involvement has been crafted to raise the level of awareness through your conscious actions. You’re not only impacting
yourself positively but every interaction is shaped through your intent. As soon as you decide to begin your journey of self-expansion,
a whole ecosystem comes into picture.

Through the teachings, I realised that all problems and difficulties that we face in life are means to strengthen ourselves and look at life with a new perspective. Not to lament and lose hope on our problems but to see it as a challenge. "Abhyas has given me a new perspective to look at the challenges —an opportunity of growth!"

The authenticity of the teachings, shared with such clarity and simplicity, made them deeply relatable. This journey has opened new layers of awareness and growth, helping me feel less fearful and more confident in expressing my truth. I am deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience.
