Yoga originated in India and has been practiced here for thousands of years. It is a practice that is deeply ingrained in Indian culture and spirituality, and has gained popularity worldwide in recent years. Our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is a strong advocate for yoga and has been instrumental in promoting it on a global scale. He successfully lobbied the United Nations to designate June 21 as International Yoga Day, which has been celebrated annually since 2015. @narendramodi has also led yoga sessions at the United Nations Headquarters on International Yoga Day, and has encouraged people to make yoga a part of their daily lives.
