As part of initiative Yoga Week presented by Fortune Rice Bran Health, co-powered by ITC B Natural, SonyLIV plans to enrich the users with the academic knowledge and practical rigor of this 5000-year-old practice that allows individual consciousness to integrate with the cosmic spirit. The platform will provide its users with diverse yoga and asana-related videos to make them aware of the innumerable positive effects this practice has on the human mind, body, heart and soul and attain a supreme physical, emotional, and spiritual experience, allowing the body to function at its optimum.

The aim is to bring the ancient practice into modern limelight and encourage more millennials to adopt it into their everyday lives via the digital route! With this move, SonyLIV has also further diversified its content repertoire, making it the one-stop digital destination for Indian audiences to catch up on video entertainment from a vast set of genres.

SonyLIV has always been conscious of providing holistically beneficial entertainment to its users and its health and wellness segment LIV Fit was the first-of-its-kind initiative on an OTT platform in the country. It received a massively positive response from viewers. The Yoga Week initiative is also expected to be of immense help to the health-conscious users and encourage modern Indians to reincorporate Yoga into their fast-paced lives, as was the case centuries ago.
