With the aim to promote better physical and mental health among Mumbaikars, the BMC is planning to start Shiv Yog Kendras, where citizens can avail yoga sessions free of cost. The civic body has sought expression of interest from yoga institutions for the same.

Additional Municipal Commissioner Sanjeev Kumar said, “We sought expression of interest from yoga institutions on Friday. Shiv Yog Kendras are being set up to spread awareness regarding physical and mental health among the citizens. We will arrange the session in public halls, or halls at BMC-run or private schools, or marriage halls, depending on the interest expressed by the citizens at a ward-level. A session can be started with a group of 30 people.”
