He said that this would motivate practitioners to update their skill levels and strengthen individuals efforts to continue practicing Yoga regularly to attain these postures. He said, “One of India’s greatest strengths is its vibrant culture and Yoga is a priceless jewel of our beloved Nation. When we share our gift of Yoga with the world we are sharing a living tradition that promotes salutogenesis, wellness and abundance.” He reiterated SBV’s commitment towards the innovative integration of traditional systems of healing such as Yoga with the modern empirical medical science. “Integrative medicine is the future, and we at SBV through CYTER and its services over the past decade have created a working model that can be adopted by others worldwide”, said he.
