HT EXCLUSIVE: On International Day of Yoga, PM Modi’s personal yoga consultant gives us a peek into his routine
Hindustan TimesIt is widely known that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought the art of yoga into the spotlight, but do you know that there isn’t a single day when he doesn’t take out the time for yoga, or that he is dedicated to the avartan dhyan practice. On International Yoga Day, we exclusively talk to PM’s personal yoga consultant, HR Nagendra, as he shares a glimpse of Modi’s dedication towards the ancient practice, calling him a ‘devoted Yoga Sadhaka’. “Modi ji’s dedication towards yoga is so high that even if he’s travelling around the world, he never fails to dedicate some time to his yoga routine,” mentions Nagendra, lauding Modi for leading the proposal to make July 21 as International Day of Yoga, which the United Nation’s General Assembly accepted in 2014. Hence, it’s imperative for us to practice and introduce yoga at home to help tackle mental issues such as depression and anxiety,” shares Nagendra, the Chancellor, S-VYASA, President, Indian Yoga Association.
