New Delhi, Aug 31: Addressing the gathering at an event to present yoga awards in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "Almost all world leaders have discussed yoga and importance of fitness with me. "Almost every conversation I have with a world leader starts with yoga and there is scarcely any dignitary who has not spent five to ten minutes discussing the wellness regime with me."
"Wherever I travel in the world, irrespective of how tall (in stature) the leader is, the conversation starts with yoga. There is hardly any leader who has not spent five-10 minutes talking on yoga. Some wanted to know about yoga, I have sent literature to some and there are few who practise on their own," he said, as reported in PTI.

PM also added that, for a change, during his recent visit to Bhutan, the discussions were mostly on his appearance in Bear Grylis' 'Man Vs Wild' programme on Discovery. "However, yoga has become a big medium to connect India with the world."
