Dear Yoga enthusiasts,
I would like to thank all who participated in 2nd International Yoga Day (IYD) celebrations, on Sunday, June 19, and Tuesday, June 21, 2016 at Vaayu Yoga Shala and also those who could not participate in the event but were there in the community spirit. Celebration of the IYD was a great success. The asana (posture) sequence suggested by Dr. Geeta Iyengar and the short meditation segment practiced led us to experience the universality of yoga and expressed our shared love and appreciation of this noble system, yoga. Hope the spirit of yoga continues and spreads deeper in the world community.
I would like to share some quotes, which heralds the universality of yoga.
