Clad in an all-white outfit, the party’s senior leaders, MLAs and district secretaries practised yogasanas along with the actor-turned-politician and his wife at the party headquarters here. Vijayakanth hailed UN recognition of yoga and said its practise brought peace to an individual while his wife said it had gained worldwide acceptance.

Hailing yoga for its health benefits, DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin advised one and all to strive to make it an important part of life. “I have been practising yoga for many years, and I believe it is (a) disciplined practice that brings balance, positive energy and health for the individual,” DMK treasurer Stalin said in a statement.

The UN resolution recognising June 21 as International Day of Yoga was a “landmark victory” for accessibility to good health and a keen emphasis on healthy living, he said.Despite originating many centuries ago in India, yoga was today globally accepted and flourishing across the world, he said, adding, everybody should resolve to make it an important part of their daily life.
