Yoga not just unites body and mind, but also millions of people across globe: UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday that yoga not just unites body and mind, but also millions of people across the globe. Ahead of International Yoga Day, the UN Secretary-General said, in a dangerous and divided world, the benefits of this ancient practice are particularly precious.

In his video address, he further said, yoga reduces



anxiety, promotes mental well-being, and helps people in connecting with the planet which is very much needed today. Mr Guterres said, it helps us to develop discipline and patience.

The UN Secretary-General further urged everyone to embrace the spirit of unity and resolve to build a better and more harmonious world.
