Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on Tuesday shared his advice and promoted the practice of Yoga Nidra which he said he himself practices once or twice a week to fight the anxiety and stress.

Prime Minister Modi had on Monday shared his fitness routine with the public when he used Twitter to post 3D animated videos of him performing yoga to show how he remains fit and for people to entertain themselves as they stay at their homes during the lockdown.

Encouraging people to do the same, PM Modi said practising yoga has been an integral part of his life for many years and that he has found it beneficial. He, however, said that he is neither a fitness expert nor a medical expert.
