Addressing the students and staff members, the professor said, “Yoga should not be for one day, it should be an integral part of life. It helps in controlling unregulated habits and lifestyles. We need to take care of our body with at least 15 minutes of daily breathing exercise, a few steps of walking, or just running. If we feel anxiety when there is no mobile phone to access or no one around, it means we have stopped loving ourselves. Knowing and spending time with own body is bliss and it can easily be gained by Yog.”
