New Delhi, June 21 (IBNS): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished the nation on International Yoga Day on Thursday.

Modi is currently in Dehradun where he will participate in a yoga day event.
Modi on Wednesday tweeted: "Reached Dehradun a short while back. Looking forward to the Yoga Day programme tomorrow morning at the iconic FRI campus at 6:30 AM. Here is a picture from the venue."
The Prime Minister will join thousands of volunteers, performing Yoga asanas in the lawns of Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, located in the lap of the Himalayas.
A series of Yoga related events are being organized across the world to mark the occasion.
The Prime Minister had earlier participated in Yoga celebrations at Rajpath in New Delhi in 2015, the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh in 2016, and the Ramabai Ambedkar Sabha Sthal in Lucknow in 2017.

“Yoga is not just a set of exercises that keeps the body fit. It is a passport to health assurance, a key to fitness and wellness. Nor is Yoga only what you practice in the morning. Doing your day-to-day activities with diligence and complete awareness is a form of Yoga as well,” the Prime Minister said.
