Andhra Pradesh's Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is leaving no stone unturned, mobilising lakhs more across the state for synchronised yoga sessions in what promises to be the largest collective practice ever seen. But the movement isn't confined to AP. From rooftops to riversides, schoolyards to office lobbies, India will be breathing as one.
