From helping you with digestion to getting a healthier posture, practising yoga daily has umpteen number of positives. If you are still pondering on when to jump on this cart, boost your motivation by looking at these popular Indian figures who have embraced yoga as a way of life.
PM Narendra Modi
Our Prime Minister has popularized yoga like no other. He has spoken about his regular exercising technique on various occasions. PM Modi has counted yoga’s benefits on his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ episodes; he also did yoga on the first UN World Yoga Day – right out on the lawns in front of the Parliament with hundreds of people. This session went on to become the largest yoga session in history.
Recently, in order to help people cope with the stress of lockdown, the Prime Minister has introduced a series of animated yoga videos. Titled ‘Yoga with Modi’, people can access the clips from his YouTube channel.
During yesterday’s #MannKiBaat, someone asked me about my fitness routine during this time. Hence, thought of sharing these Yoga videos. I hope you also begin practising Yoga regularly. https://t.co/Ptzxb7R8dN
