The letter read in part:

“The theme for this year’s International Day of Yoga is “Yoga for Wellness’’, which is particularly relevant in the current context.

“Yoga has many benefits for the body as well as for the mind. Despite all the efforts and precautions, COVID-19 may infect any person. However, a strong immune system can aid in the fight against it. Yoga can help build that immunity, for instance, through breathing exercises that strengthen the lungs.
