On the occasion of International Yoga Day, enthusiasts across world are performing yoga – in groups and individually.

The global recognition of the day has turned it into a large scale media where celebrities, as well as commoners, post pictures and videos of them doing yoga, while some opt to stream the event live.

Most people actually perform yoga, but there are some who indulge in making sly jokes about those who attempted and didn't quite get it right.

Yoga does help in maintaining a healthy mind and body, but laughter after all is indeed the best medicine.

So, here are some rib-tickling moments from International Yoga Day over the years:

1. For working professionals, the daily routine could be taxing on the mind and the body. Here is an interesting take on how to get by the mundane:
