The sixth International Day of Yoga is being celebrated today.
Yoga is found to be an important activity in the current coronavirus pandemic situation as its practice leads to both physical and emotional well-being and increases a person's ability to fight against the lethal infection in an effective manner.
This year, the celebration is centred around the theme "Yoga at Home, Yoga with Family".
