Yoga is an ancient practice with innumerable benefits, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Raghubir Mahaseth while speaking at the virtual programme organised by the Art of Living to celebrate the seventh international day of yoga on Monday.
Minister Mahaseth also revealed that he has been practising yoga for the past 26 years.
The theme for the yoga day this year is ‘Yoga for well-being.’ “This theme is particularly relevant this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mahaseth said. “People need physical and mental well-being, which yoga helps achieve.”
