New Delhi: Ahead of the sixth International Day of Yoga, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday urged people to observe the day from the confines of their homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Noting that this year's theme is 'Yoga at home' and 'Yoga with family', he said due to the pandemic, it has to be observed indoors.
I'm happy to note the growing popularity of yoga in the last few years, especially among the youth. We are marking 6th #YogaDay in extraordinary times, usually, it's about public events but this year it goes indoors.

Though yoga day celebrations are an occasion of mass gatherings, due to extraordinary times, this year people should observe the day at their homes, he said in a video message.
Yoga Day is being observed on June 21.
He said the pandemic could have affected the mobility, but not enthusiasm. (PTI)
