Yoga can help in controlling drug menace: Governor Heptulla

Imphal, Oct 11(UNI) Yoga education amongst the youth can be an effective tool to counter the menace of substance abuse and drug addiction said Governor Dr Najma Heptulla while opening the 24th State Level Yoga Physique Championship, 2019 organized by the Yoga Physique Institute & Studies, Manipur here today at MDU hall.
The theme of the championship is ‘Yoga for health, wellbeing and sustainable development. This championship will certainly help the young sportspersons to grow and maintain their physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being she said.
In addition, this championship is to put together in one event, the overwhelming complexity of the entire Yoga arts and traditions of various ethnic communities of the State. Manipur’s rich heritage of Yoga, which constitutes a significant component of the culture of the people, remains largely unexplored she said. Though Manipur is famous for its dances and sports, Yoga also needs to be taken up for a closer study to understand and unravel the underlying historical and cultural meaning of such practices.
