‘Improvised’ common protocol issued by Centre for Int’l Yoga Day

The Centre has released an “improvised” common protocol of yoga postures for this year’s international Yoga Day (IDY) which will be held on June 21.

The protocol is an improvised version of last year’s protocol and gives a brief overview of yoga and yogic practices to orient one towards comprehensive health.

The Protocol was released by AYUSH Minister Shripad Yesso Naik during the inaugural function of National Arogya Fair held in Panaji in Goa on Saturday in presence of Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar.

“The booklet gives a brief overview about Yoga and Yogic practices to orient one towards comprehensive health for an individual and the community. The present edition of Common Yoga Protocol is an improvised version of last year’s Yoga Protocol,” an official statement said.

Some postures like yogic sukshma vyayama, yogasanas, and pranayama have been added in the 2nd revised edition.
