Twitter, Snapchat celebrate International day of Yoga with emojis

June 21, 2020 marked the sixth International day of Yoga. A popular form of fitness and exercise, Yoga has been advocated by India’s leaders and health enthusiasts across the world for its therapeutic properties, especially amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a keen yoga practitioner himself, advocated in his International Yoga Day address that Yoga enhances our quest for a healthier planet and that it has also emerged as a force of unity that deepens the bonds of humanity. He added that it is an activity that does not discriminate between human beings and goes beyond race, gender, colour, caste, and faith.
