Yoga boosts immunity and improves mental, physical and emotional health: K'taka Guv

Bengaluru: Marking the 6th International Day of Yoga Governor Vajubhai Vala on Sunday, Jun 21 performed yoga exercises (asanas) at Raj Bhavan on a 3-layer mat spread over a green lawn.

“Yoga boosts immunity and improves mental, physical and emotional health,” said Vala in a communique from Raj Bhavan.

Vala, 81, has been residing in the imposing Raj Bhavan since mid-2014 when he moved from Rajkot in Gujarat to assume office.

Wishing the people of the southern state on the occasion, the Governor appealed to the citizens to practice yoga at home with family due to Covid-induced lockdown restriction on large gatherings in public spaces.

Formerly known as the Bangalore Residency, Raj Bhavan was built in 1842 by Sir Mark Cubbon, who was the Commissioner of Mysore territories of the British.
