'Yoga needs to be a lifestyle.. much much more than a mere post or celebrating it on a certain day. It is way more than a physical. It is mental, emotional and above all spiritual (not religious) in a way deeper sense. It's like trying to find deep end of an ocean which is your own self. I truly hope all of you give it a try in your own way even in a baby step. Happy #internationalyogaday all you wonderful people!! Stay fit physically n mentally,' says Urmila Matondkar.
