To promote the International Day of Yoga, we are organizing the world’s largest virtual Yoga gathering which will bring together leading Yoga coaches from across the world to share the healing power of yoga. We extend an open invitation to everyone to be a part of the event and start their journey towards a healthier and happier life.”
