The competition is part of the Indian government's efforts to celebrate International Day of Yoga (IDY).
June 21 is widely celebrated as IDY ever since its declaration by UN in 2014, said the High Commission on Thursday.
This year, owing to various restrictions in place to control the spread of Covid-19, IDY will be celebrated online by the Indian government.
The Ministry of AYUSH has launched the global online Video Blogging Competition - ‘My Life, My Yoga’ - as part of IDY 2020.
The competition invites yoga enthusiasts to share their experience with Yoga as well as the Yogic practices they practice on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Deadline for receiving entries is June 15, 11:50pm IST (June 16, 12:20am BdST).
Winners of the Bangladesh edition of the competition will receive attractive prizes and will be able to participate in the global edition of ‘My Life My Yoga’ competition as well.
Breathing exercises and yogic practices are known to strengthen the body’s immune system.
Regular practice of yoga is not only useful in reducing mental stress, but also in improving physical health.
