January 14, Kathamndu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has stressed the need of doing yoga regularly to keep health mentally and physically sound.

Addressing a ceremony organized at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar today on the occasion of the 6th National Yoga Day, Prime Minister Oli said yoga was extraordinarily useful for mental health.

Saying Nepal was the land of yoga and it was a matter of pride for all Nepalis, the prime minister urged all not to associate yoga with any particular religion and spirituality.
