Great initiative! Yoga is our ancient gift to the world 🌍. But I hope the government also focuses on improving healthcare infrastructure while promoting wellness activities. Both should go hand in hand.

While I appreciate the yoga promotion, I wish similar enthusiasm was shown for our traditional sports like kabaddi and kho-kho. Our culture has many treasures beyond just yoga.

Hope they maintain proper social distancing at these events. Last year I saw photos where people were packed like sardines. Yoga is about health, but crowd management matters too!

Wonderful to see yoga for specially-abled people being included! As a special educator, I've seen how adapted yoga helps my students with focus and motor skills. More awareness needed about these initiatives!

Baba Ramdev has done great work popularizing yoga, but I hope the event focuses more on the practice rather than becoming a political platform. Yoga should unite us beyond politics.
