Shripad Naik seeks inclusion of yoga in hospitals | India Today
“I feel every hospital should include yoga for holistic healing,” Naik said in a statement issued here.
The youth today are stressed, riddled by lifestyle pressures and are often misguided to take up addictions like alcohol and drugs, he said while highlighting the importance of yoga not just as a physical exercise but as a means for holistic healing.
The minister was addressing a gathering here while celebrating the 120th birth anniversary of Yogendraji, the founder of the Yoga Institute in suburban Mumbai.
“Yoga is a gift of rich cultural heritage given by the ancient India to the world. Adopting yogic values that Yogendraji taught and making yoga a way of living is important,” Naik said.
