MOSCOW, RUSSIA, April 23, 2009: Russia’s former First Lady Naina Yeltsina wants every home in the country to practice yoga for a healthy lifestyle.
“I have been practicing yoga for last two years. I think it is indispensable for people above 50. It would be good if it was practiced in every Russian home,” Naina Yeltsina, 77, said at a reception hosted here by the Indian Ambassador P. P. Shukla in honor of Yogacharya BKS Iyengar.
“Young people in Russia are very conscious about a healthy life style and yoga is the key to the physical and mental harmony,” noted Yeltsina’s daughter Ms. Tatiana.
