To ensure Mumbaikars are hale and hearty, the BMC set up Shiv Yoga Kendras last year. However, people don’t seem to be interested in some areas, especially D  ward—which comprises Tardeo, Malabar Hill and Grant Road—where not even a single session has taken place for some time. The centres in P-North and K-East wards, though, have been seeing a good response.
 
The civic body, in its 2022-23 budget, announced the opening of Shiv Yoga Kendras along with Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray health clinics. The former was set up on the International Day of Yoga, June 21.

According to the civic health department, there are 133 Shiv Yoga Kendras in 24 wards and 167 batches are conducted on a daily basis.
