Director of Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga Ishwar V. Basavaraddi has advised people to properly practice yoga for maintaining coordination between body and mind.
Addressing a Yoga awareness programme organised by Kalyana Karnataka Human Resource, Agriculture and Cultural Society at Bharatiya Vidya Kendra near Sirnur on Sunday, he said that Yoga without spirituality would just be a physical exercise that would not be of great use.
“Spirituality and Yoga should go hand in hand. Without spirituality, Yoga would lose its essence and become a physical exercise. Yoga is a science that helps attain coordination between mind and body and benefits both mental and physical health,” he said.
