PM Modi turns yoga guide in run-up to World Yoga Day
You’ve got to hand it to Narendra Modi. In the midst of his prime ministerial responsibilities he’s been tweeting every day a short video demonstrating a Yoga asana with brief notes on the benefits. Great idea, we think, and could inspire people who’ve never attempted yoga to give it a shot.
Here are some of the PM’s #YogaDay tweets:
