Indian Women Network (IWN) of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) recently organised an International Yoga Day programme - ‘Stretch Your Way to Bliss’.
A release from the organisation said that Joint Commissioner, Commercial Taxes, Ajay Yadav, who inaugurated the programme, spoke on the importance of yoga practice saying yoga helped balance the inevitable stress in this fast-paced materialistic life.
The good thing about yoga was that unlike other exercises, people of all ages could easily practice the postures. And considering the fact that yoga originated in India, it was the duty of every Indian to promote yoga and propagate its rich heritage.
