Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take center stage today in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, where a massive 26-km corridor stretching from RK Beach to Bhogapuram is being prepped to host over 3 lakh yoga enthusiasts, together, aiming to set world records, including one with Guinness.
Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is leaving no stone unturned, mobilising lakhs more across the state for synchronised yoga sessions in what promises to be the largest collective practice ever seen.
But the movement isn’t confined to AP. From rooftops to riversides, schoolyards to office lobbies, India will be breathing as one.

She is leading a session by the Yamuna, urging citizens to reconnect with India’s cultural roots.
Already, over 50,000 organisations, ranging from schools and corporations to NGOs and artists, are on board. And this isn't just about yoga poses.

LIVE International Yoga Day 2025: What Is Yoga? How Did It Originate?
Yoga is an ancient mind-body practice that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and ethical principles to promote overall well-being. The word "Yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj”, meaning to join or to unite, symbolising the union of body, mind, and spirit.
Yoga originated in ancient India over 5,000 years ago. Its earliest references appear in the Rig Veda, one of Hinduism’s oldest sacred texts. The practice was later systematised by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, which laid out the eightfold path of Ashtanga Yoga, including ethical conduct, physical discipline, breath control, and meditation.
Traditionally, yoga was a spiritual discipline aimed at achieving liberation (moksha). Over time, especially in modern practice, it has also become a holistic fitness regimen. Today, yoga is embraced globally for its physical, mental, and emotional health benefits, bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary well-being.
