Union Minister Advocates for Daily Yoga as Key to Healthy Living

Mr. Kumaraswamy has emphasized that yoga has transformed into a globally recognized practice that fosters wellness and inner harmony. He highlighted yoga as one of Indias most significant contributions to global health and culture.

Originating over 5,000 years ago in ancient India, yoga encompasses a variety of physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines aimed at promoting overall well-being. Today, it is practiced by millions worldwide, incorporating various styles and forms, from traditional Hatha and Ashtanga to contemporary approaches like power yoga and yoga therapy.

In recent years, a growing body of research has validated the health benefits of yoga, including its effectiveness in reducing stress, enhancing flexibility, and improving mental clarity. Additionally, the United Nations has recognized June 21 as International Day of Yoga to celebrate its universal appeal and promote healthier lifestyles.
