Self-Defence & Yoga Training - the right project from WBDO President

🧘‍♂️ Empowerment Through Wellness: WBDO Launches Free Self-Defence & Yoga Training for PWDs

In a powerful step towards physical empowerment and holistic development, the West Bengal Disability Organization (WBDO) is proud to announce its newest initiative — free training in Self-Defence and Yoga for persons with disabilities (PWDs), led by our newly appointed President, Mr. Imtaz Khan.


🌟 A Vision in Action

Since July 2025, Mr. Khan has personally been conducting regular Yoga and Self-Defence classes across multiple sessions, ensuring accessibility and inclusiveness for every member. His leadership marks a fresh and energetic direction for WBDO, where wellness and safety are seen as fundamental rights of every specially-abled individual.


🧘 Why Yoga & Self-Defence?

These sessions are designed not just for physical benefit, but also to:

  • Improve flexibility, strength, and body awareness

  • Build confidence and independence among PWDs

  • Equip them with practical self-defence techniques

  • Promote mental peace and emotional stability

Mr. Khan's unique approach combines discipline with compassion, turning each session into a space for community bonding and personal growth.


📈 Impact So Far

Within just two months of implementation (July–August), WBDO witnessed a drastic rise in member engagement. Participants began showing visible improvements in physical health, self-confidence, and social interaction. Many members have called this training a “turning point” in their journey with WBDO.


👣 What’s Next?

This project is now being expanded to:

  • Host weekly training schedules across districts

  • Offer online classes for remote participants

  • Collaborate with local trainers and physiotherapists for advanced support

  • Integrate meditation and stress-relief activities


💬 A Message from President Imtaz Khan:

“Physical well-being is not a luxury — it is a necessity. I want every member of our organization to feel strong, safe, and capable. Yoga and self-defence are tools for both inner and outer empowerment.”


🤝 Join the Movement

Whether you're a member, a supporter, or a volunteer — this initiative is open, free, and inclusive. WBDO invites everyone to be part of this transformative journey.
