The practice of yoga received a boost last year with the grand celebration of International Yoga Day led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Now, the government is thinking of training physiotherapists associated with the Sports Authority of India (SAI) in yoga techniques in the hope that its integration will help athletes recover faster in case of an injury.
The SAI has been directed to instruct all its centres to start the process of introducing physiotherapists to the theory and practice of yoga.
