Following his address, PM Modi is likely to practice a few yoga moves on live TV. While he will talk about the importance of Yoga, especially during the ongoing health emergency, it is not yet clear whether he will touch upon the India-China face-off. At least 20 Indian soldiers were martyred in an unprecedented face-off with Chinese PLA troops in Galwan Valley in Ladakh on June 15. Here it may be noted that earlier his address was scheduled at Leh. However, due to coronavirus pandemic, now he will address the country from the national capital itself.

The theme of this year's International Day of Yoga is "Yoga for Health – Yoga at Home". It is because the coronavirus outbreak resulted in lockdown in several countries and social distancing has now become an essential part of daily life. Hence, yoga practitioners have turned to home practice and online yoga resources.
