Speaking at the event, Bhagnani said, “Yoga has always been more than just exercise for me. It helps create a balance between the body and mind.” He added that the practice encourages a more centred approach to everyday life.
Rakul Preet Singh echoed similar views, saying, “Yoga teaches us to live more mindfully and stay connected to our surroundings.” Referring to this year’s Yoga Day theme, ‘ Yoga for One Earth, One Health ’, she said, “Our well-being is deeply connected to the environment. When we care for nature, we care for ourselves.”
