Yoga helps a person focus his or her mind on what he or she needs to do, said District Collector H. Krishnanunni during the International Day of Yoga observance here on Tuesday.
A programme was jointly organised by Ulaga Samuthaya Seva Sangam and Vellalar College for Women on the college premises in which students performed various asanas.
Speaking on the occasion, the Collector said that thinking round-the-clock makes us tired and yoga trains the mind to keep fresh. “We must help the universe and practising yoga helps us to have a positive mindset”, he added.
