Members of India's Indo-Tibetan Border Police wear military fatigues, with thick boots and heavy jackets. Their jog is to guard the vast border between India and China, where the mountaintop temperature can drop to minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit. To help them cope with their duties as well as the altitude (9,000-18,000 feet) and the cold, they practice yoga, meditation and yogic breath exercises called pranayama.
