Rohit Gera, Managing Director of Pune-based Gera Developments wrote in a LinkedIn post, “I can state from experience that yoga is one way to build strength, flexibility, balance, concentration and breath work. My favourite aasana is the Shavasana but it comes as a reward at the end of the class. Wish everyone a Happy #InternationalYogaDay.” 

“Yoga teaches us that true well-being transcends the physical and touches the mind and spirit. By integrating yoga into our daily routines, we can achieve holistic health, inner peace, and a stronger, more resilient self. Embrace the transformative power of yoga to enhance your overall well-being and live a life of balance, clarity, and harmony,” Jaxay Shah, founder and CMD of Savvy Group, an Ahmedabad-based real estate major, wrote on X.
