People from all around gear up to celebrate #InternationalYogaDay!

Our own Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is an avid yogi. If you have wondered what goes into his disciplined regime, a lot of the credit goes to his love for yoga. Despite having a busy schedule, he always makes time for yoga. Just recently, he talked about the many benefits of 'shalabhasana', a beneficial yoga asana. Taking to Twitter, he wrote,

"Stronger wrists, back muscles, and prevention of spondylitis...just some of the reasons why practicing Shalabhasana is beneficial".

Here are some of the best pictures we found on the internet in the run-up to International Yoga Day!
