Yoga made its way to Republican presidential debate in US

WASHINGTON: Yoga has made its way on to the Republican presidential debate in the US when Texas Senator Ted Cruz asked party frontrunner Donald Trump to take a deep breath during a heated exchange between the two.

"Breathe, breathe, breathe," Cruz asked Trump when the two were engaged in some feisty exchange of words on the Supreme Court.

"You can do it. You can breathe. I know it is hard," Cruz said.

Senator Marco Rubio, another presidential hopeful, jumped in and said, "When they are done with the yoga, can I answer a question?."

"You can not. I really hope that we do not see yoga on this stage," Cruz said amidst laughter in the audience.

"Well, he (Trump) is very flexible, so you never know," Rubio said amidst applause.
