Yoga is our ancient tradition. Our sages had known its importance long ago, so they used to do yoga regularly. All of us had forgotten this during the race for materialistic pursuits. But the corona period made us all health conscious and at such times if we all do yoga regularly, then the body will also be healthy and the mind will also be healthy.There will be positivity in your life. So, practice yoga regularly, take advantage of it.  People of entire Chhattisgarh should adopt yoga along with their families. Shri Baghel said that if both body and mind remain healthy, then we will be able to face any adverse situation.


       The Chief Minister said that at present, we have taken only material means as the measure of success, whereas without a healthy body and a healthy mind every success is incomplete. In these times of corona-crisis, the relevance of yoga has increased even more. Chhattisgarh government has also arranged for training of yoga through virtual medium, everyone  must take advantage of it. We can make the dream of Garhbo Nava Chhattisgarh come true only by staying fit with our body and mind.
