CELEBRITY YOGA GURU VIVEK MISHRA TALKS ABOUT YOGA ON INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY

Vivek Mishra believes that Yoga is a holistic approach and not just a physical activity which should be incorporated in our daily lives. When asked about how Vivek Mishra would be celebrating the day, he says, “As a daily practice, I would start my day by performing my daily Yoga routine. Besides that, I intend to conduct a yoga meet among students and would be encouraging them to spread the word and to bring anyone they know along – yogi or not –and join the practice.”

He goes on to say that when one practices yoga, one needs to immerse themselves into their conscience through the act of yoga & feel spiritual from within. “It’s about re-discovering the core of your creative self & feeling mirthful from within.” He states that “In today’s fast paced life people have forgotten the importance of yoga and it has thus lost its precedence. Yoga should be practised & performed not merely as an exercise but by self-contemplating & seeking the truth and purpose of life.”

On International Yoga Day he urges people to take just a few minutes out of their hectic work schedules and try performing yoga & gradually make it a daily practice. “It could be just about five minutes in a day but there’s no doubt about the fact that these few minutes of simple yet extremely helpful act if practised daily, could transform your life & help you pave your way through the struggles and problems of life thus helping you cut the clutter and walk through life contented.”

Vivek Mishra elaborates on Yoga having immense benefits in terms of health- be it physical, mental, handling work pressure, spiritual or even emotional; and the only way to achieve it is to switch to Yoga which is India’s endowment to mankind. He affirms that this beautiful practice would surely gain momentum and goes out to spread the word to all the yoga teachers, studios & institutions he knows as he feels that it is about joining in and forming a union. “The more we are, the bigger the impact. This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to make a big impact with very little means.”
