It's a bit late but Happy International Day of Yoga.
Every 21st of June, we are celebrating the International Day of Yoga, including in the United Nations Headquarters.
Since 2015, we celebrated that day by having a gathering at the UNHQ and had same brief sessions of Yoga with big audiences.
It grows from year to year and now we are celebrating it in the North Lawn of the UNHQ, which provide enough space for everyone and amazing vista of the East River.

The word “yoga” is derived from the ancient Sanskrit language and it means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of our body and consciousness.
Our body and soul.
Although Yoga originated in India, its usefulness has been recognized the world over.
Us, Indonesians and many across the globe have long been fascinated by Yoga.
On its fourth celebration at the UN, with many fold increased participation, is a reflection of its powerful appeal. Many yogis as well as yoga's enthusiasts were coming and joining us that day, including ambassadors.
I was honored to be trusted as the Master of the Ceremony that day.
I loved it!

Thanks. This reminds me of Yog Gokul- Yoga Teacher Training 200 Hours
ReplyDeleteYoga Teachers at Yog Gokul have re-defined and re-invented the modules to be included in our teachers training program. The modules have been carefully drafted as per our teachers’ rich experience of several years of teaching yoga and knowledge gained after completing their own Yoga Teachers Training Course from India’s most renowned schools.
Highlights of 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course
Our senior teachers come from various schools of yoga like Idea Yoga, Rishikesh Yogpeeth, Iyengar and Ashtanga. We have integrated their wealth of knowledge and rich experience into all our curriculum to make it more accommodating to suit different body types.
Having teachers from different lineages ensures that our graduate yoga teachers can tackle all kinds of clients rather than being restricted to a single perspective.
