Sisodia said “Dilli ki Yogashala” will bring a “yoga revolution” in the capital. He said slots for the same will be released soon. “Many might think that yoga became an active part of society just a few years back, but that is not true. We need to break this myth and teach people yoga in a sequenced manner so that they become healthy,” he said.
