Boardrooms Becoming Yogshalas




                              Many youth have pledged to create a record and
                              become a part of the Yoga Chain. Our corporates
                              too, are not lagging behind in this. Some institutions
                              have set aside a separate place for yoga practice in
                              their offices. Some start-ups have set up ‘office yoga
                              hours’. There are also people who are preparing to go
                              to villages and teach yoga. This awareness of people
                              about health and fitness gives me immense joy.
