"Congrats to Hong Kong-based Indian Yoga teacher, Yogaraj C.P. for creating a Guinness World Record!" Modi tweeted.
In another tweet, he said: "I appreciate the Indian consulate in Hong Kong for its efforts to popularise Yoga and its support to Yogaraj."
The 29-year-old Yoga teacher in Hong Kong Sunday set the Guinness World Record for performing Yoga continuously for 40 hours non-stop. He demonstrated over 1,500 'asanas'.
Yogaraj started practicing the discipline at the age of five and began teaching it when he was 12.
