International Yoga Day to go digital this year

New Delhi: In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's International Yoga Day would be celebrated on digital media platforms and there would be no mass gatherings, the government said on Friday.
This year's theme will be 'Yoga at Home and Yoga with Family'. People will be able to join Yoga Day celebrations virtually at 7 am on June 21.
Indian missions abroad are trying to reach out to the people through digital media as well through the network of institutions which support yoga, officials said.
The AYUSH ministry had earlier planned to hold a grand event at Leh which, however, had to be cancelled because of the pandemic.
Besides, through the 'My Life, My Yoga' video blogging competition which was launched by the prime minister on May 31, the ministry of AYUSH and ICCR seeks to raise awareness about yoga and to inspire people to prepare for and become active participants in the observation of IDY 2020.
The contest will run in two legs--- the first one consisting of an international video blogging contest, wherein the winners will be picked within a country.
This will be followed by global prize winners who will be selected from different countries.
