Singh says this year’s theme, “Yoga for Self and Society,” resonates deeply as Fijians gathered at Albert Park in Suva to honour this occasion.
The Minster says NCDs contribute close to 85 per cent of deaths in Fiji.
He has urged every Fijian to participate in this physical exercise for their benefit, as yoga is a holistic approach to physical and mental exercise.
He stresses that through Yoga, individuals cultivate inner strength and peace and foster harmony among diverse cultures and traditions.
