As part of the celebrations leading up to the International Day of Yoga 2026, Minister of State for Ayush Prataprao Jadhav will on Sunday join a global online yoga event aiming to create a world record for the 'Most Viewers for a YouTube Live Yoga Stream'
The event, bringing together yoga practitioners and wellness enthusiasts from around the world on a single digital platform, will be organised by the Ministry in collaboration with the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY) and Habuild, said a statement.
The collective participation will take place from the residence of the Union Minister, reflecting the Ministry's commitment to leading by example and promoting the message of wellness through yoga.
The initiative is designed to showcase the universal appeal of yoga and its growing acceptance as a powerful tool for promoting holistic health and well-being.

I appreciate the effort but 6:15 AM start time? That's brutal for us night owls! 😅 Still, I'll set my alarm. Yoga has helped me so much with my back pain from sitting at my desk job. It's wonderful that India is leading this global wellness movement.
As someone who discovered yoga during lockdown, I'm thrilled India is hosting this. The fact that people from 130+ countries will participate shows how yoga has truly become a global phenomenon. Great job, Ministry of Ayush! Will be joining from California! 🌏
This is fantastic PR for India and yoga. But I hope the focus isn't just on breaking a record - the real goal should be getting people to actually practice yoga regularly, not just one morning. Still, any initiative that promotes wellness is welcome. Will be registering!
Bro, imagine the internet traffic at 6:15 AM on Sunday! Hope the servers are prepared. Also, digital certificates via WhatsApp is a smart move - very accessible for everyone. Would be better if they had some local community sessions too for people without smartphones.
Love this! As a yoga instructor in London, I've seen how yoga transcends cultures. This event perfectly captures that spirit. The Minister participating from his residence sets a great example of leading from the front. Already shared with my students!
