Saiyami Kher: Yoga is an essential tool for a healthy life. Endless number of benefits for amateur, pro and non athletes. I would like to practise it much more than what I do now.

Bipasha Basu: Happy International Yoga Day. Loved what Sadhguru said, 'Yoga is not just about twisting and turning... it's about existing in union with the rest of the creation'. Have a wonderful practice. Have a wonderful day.

Nimrat Kaur: Yoga isn't just a way to keep to fit. It's a way of life, a deeply enriched perspective. Sometimes upside down even! A journey that began not long enough ago for me with my incredible teacher, but surely one I intend to be on till I walk! Happy International Yoga Day.

I started practising 15 years ago and though it took almost 7 years to kick in-tore down established neural patterns to form the ones that fit the life I have now-largely due to doing my pranayama and meditation every day. These two books have been invaluable #yogaeverydamnday pic.twitter.com/NIMwFDrz8v
