Good to see Supreme Court judges participating. Yoga should be part of every professional's routine to manage stress. That book on NCDs through yoga is much needed - diabetes and hypertension are becoming epidemics in India.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I hope the government also focuses on making yoga accessible in rural areas. Most events seem concentrated in urban centers. Yoga is for everyone, not just cities.

The theme "Yoga for One Earth, One Health" is so relevant today. Climate change and health crises need holistic solutions. India's gift to the world is showing the way! 🇮🇳

As a school teacher, I wish more schools would make yoga compulsory. Children today need it more than ever with all the screen time and stress. Kudos to KV NTPC for hosting this event!

The Goa event looked amazing in pictures! India's soft power through yoga is unmatched. But we need more scientific research to back claims about yoga's medical benefits - glad AIIA is working on this.
