New Delhi (Agencies): Six-time world
champion boxer MC Mary Kom and shooter Anjum Moudgil will join Sports Minister
Kiren Rijiju on Sunday for an online yoga session by actor and fitness
enthusiast Shilpa Shetty on the occasion of International Yoga Day.
Organised under the Government of India's flagship program
'Fit India', the 45-minute online session, 'Fun Family Yoga', is designed
keeping in mind the Ministry of Ayush's guidelines regarding 'Yoga at Home',
since people cannot congregate to celebrate International Yoga Day owing to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
"I am looking forward to learn and interact with Rijiju
sir and Shilpa Shetty and spread awareness about yoga and its importance in
wellbeing to all the children and parents who will be watching us," said
Anjum, a quota-holder for next year's Olympics.
The session also aims to engage children meaningfully about
the elements of yoga in a fun and educative manner. The session will involve a
host of simple and highly-effective asanas that can be done at the comfort of
home as well as a segment on pranayama and mantra meditation.
"I will be doing this live yoga session for
schoolchildren with our Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju ji and some renowned
athletes. Please join us with your family members for this special yoga session
and bring in your yoga mats. Let's pledge towards a healthier and fitter
tomorrow," said Shilpa.
The session will begin at 5 pm on Sunday and will be
streamed live on the YouTube page of Fit India as well as the Facebook and
Instagram pages of Shilpa Shetty Kundra.
