Thousands of CII representatives, including CEOs, will roll out the yoga mats on June 21, as the country braces up for the first International Yoga Day.
The Unite Nations , which declared June 21 as the 'International Day of Yoga', recognises the benefits of India's ancient heritage as a physical, mental and spiritual practice for prevention of non-communicable diseases, CII said in a statement.
"Several thousand representatives of Indian industry, including CEOs, employees and family members are rolling out their yoga mats to practice this ancient Indian exercise," it said.
Confederation of Indian Industry , which has 62 offices in the eastern, northern, southern and western regions as well as the North-East Region, is partnering with a foundation to hold the sessions in industrial hubs.
