Dr Nagpal emphasized on the importance and relevance of Yoga as an indispensable part of Indian culture and tradition. Reading Yoga in schools as a formal subject could help students grow holistically - physically, mentally, as well as spiritually.

While textbooks offer valuable knowledge, teaching yoga requires nurturing the student's growth.
