"It was routine for me to do some yoga postures only during Yoga Day. But I started considering yoga seriously last July and I started practicing for at least 45 minutes to one hour till February this year. I had to discontinue it after falling ill. However, my body was extremely comfortable and flexible during those days of practicing yoga," he said.
