Something strange happened this year’s International Yoga Day (21st June).
Don’t worry, it is a good kind of strange.
About 2000 pregnant women in Gujarat’s Rajkot city took to practicing yoga, all at once, hence establishing a new Guinness World Record. And this new record has left China’s record of more than 900 women practicing yoga, faaaaar behind.
Here’s what District Collector Vikrant Pandey had to say about the incident:
“Yoga sends a strong message that it can be very useful and beneficial. We want pre-natal yoga to be introduced permanently for pregnant ladies. We have started it in Rajkot. We will provide this to 20,000 women. More than 140 private doctors and more than 80 government doctors are associated with this. I am hopeful this message would be beneficial to all.”
While this sounds and looks all nice and cool, pregnant women should take real good care while practicing yoga, else you’ll end up doing more harm than good. Consult your doctor or go in for pre-natal yoga classes, you know, just to be on the safe side.
