Yoga at 15,000 feet in the air and practicing asanas under the ocean's waves. That's how India's armed forces celebrated International Yoga Day. 

While the world celebrates the fourth edition of the International Yoga Day on Thursday, India's brave and bold have participated in their own unique way.

Wing Commander KBS Samyal and Wing Commander Gajanand Yadav, instructors from the India Air Force's Paratroopers Training School, practiced Yoga at 15,000 feet in the air. IAF's official twitter handle posted pictures of the duo practicing asanas as they hurtled towards the ground, with their parachutes yet to be deployed.
