PET Cricket Ground in Mandya hosted the 12th International Yoga Day celebrations, inaugurated by Union Minister and local MP H.D. Kumaraswamy.
15 to 20 minutes of daily yoga and meditation can significantly improve physical and mental health, Kumaraswamy said, calling yoga India’s cultural heritage and a holistic path to harmony of body, mind and soul.
Dr. Trinetra Mahanta Shivayogi Swami said yoga should be embraced as a way of life, adding that regular practice improves flexibility, immunity and cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive health while easing stress, anxiety and depression.
The programme was jointly organised by the district administration, Zilla Panchayat, AYUSH and other departments, along with the Red Cross Society, AFI Mandya, SPYSS and yoga groups, reflecting Yoga Day’s broad institutional backing.
