Yoga will empower the youth, health is also necessary along with education: Roopnarayan Sinha

Raipur : Yoga is an ancient and scientific tradition of India, which our sages have developed on the basis of deep research and experience. Various yoga asanas were created by studying the natural behavior of animals and plants, which even today are proving to be extremely useful in making human life physically and mentally strong. This was said by Chhattisgarh Yoga Commission Chairman Roopnarayan Sinha. He was addressing the inauguration ceremony of the seven-day teacher training and yoga training program organized under the joint aegis of the Commission and the University at Rawatpura Government University, Raipur.
