It had a positive effect not only in sports like shooting and polo, but physically and mentally in every sphere of life. Yoga has been considered an important part of life in the Indian tradition since ancient times. In today’s routine, the importance of yoga increases even more. With this we can protect our body from various diseases as well as strengthen our inner strength. This also inspires us to have restraint, discipline and dedication in our lives.”
