Yoga is a holistic practice that benefits both the body and mind. It enhances flexibility, strength, and posture while promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Regular yoga improves mental clarity, boosts immunity, and supports better sleep.
India, renowned as the birthplace of yoga, continues to inspire the world with this ancient practice.
However, influential figures from around the globe are also contributing to the field. Among them is Princess Mashael Bint Faisal Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, who has made history by becoming the first member from her country to join the board of the Asian Yoga Sports Federation.
Sharing a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Saudi Yoga Committee congratulated her.
