Potential Yoga Class With PM Narendra Modi Is Stressing Out Top Cops

Potential Yoga Class With PM Narendra Modi Is Stressing Out Top Cops
PM Narendra Modi may lead a yoga session for police officers during a conference in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad: Ahead of a possible yoga session with the Prime Minister, the country's top police officers are trying to get in shape - but not very hard.

Tomorrow, when they gather at a conference in Hyderabad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the Director General of Police of each state and senior paramilitary officers.

What is not clear is whether, like last year, PM Modi will lead an early morning yoga class at the three-day session. At that time, the group practised the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salute) and Chakra Asana (The Wheel pose). This year, it's the utterly undemanding savanasa and bal asana (corpse and child poses) that are being flexed.

The calculation is that the PM may be too short on time for the yoga session listed for November 26 at 6 am.

"I do savasana best," joked a top officer referring to the pose that requires nothing more than lying on one's back with arms and legs spread out. Another senior police officer, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that yoga sessions should relax participants, not stress them out by worrying whether they are flexible or fit enough for a class with the PM. "Breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom or Kapalbhati should be done in meets like this," he said plaintively.
