Hema ji is absolutely right! I started doing yoga during lockdown and it changed my life. No more back pain and better sleep quality. Proud that our ancient practice is getting global recognition 🇮🇳 #YogaForAll

While I appreciate the yoga promotion, I wish our leaders would also focus on making parks and public spaces safer for women to practice yoga. Many of us don't feel comfortable doing asanas in open areas due to safety concerns.

Yoga is India's soft power! Remember how China promotes Tai Chi globally? We should be equally proud of our heritage. Kudos to PM Modi for taking this initiative to UN. More schools should include yoga in daily routine.

My 65-year-old mother does yoga every morning without fail. She's more active than me at 35! 😅 This International Yoga Day, I'm finally going to join her routine. Better late than never!

Yoga is great but let's not commercialize it too much. Seeing some influencers charging ₹5000 for "premium yoga sessions" is against the spirit of this ancient practice. It should remain accessible to all.

As a working mom, 15 minutes of yoga is my daily me-time. It's amazing how something so simple can reduce stress so effectively. Hema Malini is inspiring - if she can find time with her busy schedule, so can we!
