I pledge to integrate true spirit and practice of yoga into my daily life.

"Yoga is skill in action. The skill is to see, how to keep your spirit uplifted, your energy high and accomplish the task in hand. This comes only by Yoga. Yoga should not be limited or misunderstood as just some exercise. It is a holistic development, expression & connection of human life."

Gururdev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
