Today, it is a global movement that helps prevent diseases and improves overall health.' The state is home to the world-renowned Bihar School of Yoga, widely credited for spreading the practice of yoga globally. On Yoga Day, thousands of people practiced yoga not only in Patna but also in villages and districts across Bihar, reaffirming the state's deep-rooted connection to the yogic tradition. BJP state President Dilip Jaiswal highlighted yoga's relevance in modern life. 'Yoga gives us a new lease of life. It is crucial for anyone who wishes to live healthily and purposefully. Today, two types of yoga are being practiced in Bihar — real yoga for health and political yoga with words,' he quipped.
