Nearly 60 ambassadors of various countries stretched and bent in different yogic postures in unison here to mark the International Day of Yoga, with many hailing the ancient practice as a "wonderful contribution" of India to the world.

The envoys as well as several senior diplomats from India and other countries rolled out the mats and performed various 'asanas' in a capacious hall at the Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra in Chanakyapuri at a Yoga Day event hosted by the Ministry of External Affairs.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in his address said, "Its (Yoga's) growing reach and acceptance is evident everywhere and I am sure particularly in the countries that are represented here."
