The Central government has asked all its departments to promote a five-minute yoga break or &#39;Y-break&#39; among employees in order to refresh, de-stress and refocus them for enhanced efficiency at the workplace, according to a personnel ministry order.</p>
<p>
The Ministry of Ayush had designed and developed a five-minute yoga protocol termed Y-break, for the workplace by an expert committee in 2019 and the module was launched in January 2020 as a pilot project basis in six metro cities–Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kolkata.</p>

Since the feedback was very encouraging, the Ministry of Ayush developed an Android based application called Y-break and this has been made available in Google Play Store for access to the public, said the order issued to all central government departments.</p>

In order to spread awareness about access and usage of Y-break protocol/app among workforce for all sectors (public/private), all ministries/departments of Government of India are requested to promote the usage of Y-break protocol among employees, it said.</p>
