Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>In the context of the 8th International Yoga Day observed annually on 21 June, a yoga session was organised, today at the High Commission of India in Eb\u00e8ne, in the presence of the Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Kailesh Kumar Singh Jagutpal, and the High Commissioner of India to Mauritius, Mrs K.
\nNandini Singla. The yoga session, an initiative of the Ministry in collaboration with the High Commission of India, aimed to promote yoga among the population and create awareness on its benefits.
\nThe theme retained for the International Yoga Day 2022 is \u201cYoga for Humanity. \u201d In a statement, Minister Jagutpal indicated that yoga contributes in promoting good health, both mentally and physically, and brings comfort and relief in one\u2019s stressful life.
\nThis event, he said, was an opportunity to stress on the importance of yoga among the public especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The Minister also highlighted the need for a healthy diet and physical exercises to keep fit in everyday life.
\nAt the level of the Ministry, yoga sessions are conducted in various regions by the Non-Communicable Diseases and Health Promotion Division, he said. He urged the population irrespective of their age group to engage in yoga activities regularly.<\/p>\n

As for Mrs Singla, she stated that the United Nations has declared yoga as a vehicle of peace and prosperity in the world adding that the practice of yoga originates from India. Yoga, she said, has proven to be beneficial and has helped to build resilience and immunity amidst the pandemic.
\nShe added that a Guardian Ring will be created on 21 June 2022 as part of \u2018Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav\u2019 and that yoga will be practised in some 70 countries across the world including Mauritius.
\nIt is an occasion to reinforce the bilateral relations between Mauritius and India while highlighting the spiritual connection between the two countries, she said.<\/p>\n
