Catch 'em young: CM for yoga in Delhi govt schools

New Delhi: Stressing that children should be taught yoga early on in life, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday asked education minister Manish Sisodia to start the practice in state-run schools.

Speaking at an event organised at Thyagraj stadium to celebrate International Yoga Day, Kejriwal urged people to take up yoga to lead a disease-free life. He also assured that trainers would be provided for free.

"If yoga becomes a part of one's life, it frees them of all diseases and tensions. Come, be a part of 'Dilli Ki Yogshala', if you want to take up yoga, call us and Delhi government will provide you yoga teachers for free," Kejriwal said.

On Tuesday, Delhi government organised 'Dilli ki Yogshala' at 546 locations where more than 17,000 people participated in Yoga Day celebrations.
