World Yoga Fest is an effort to instill the practice of Yoga for a healthier lifestyle among participants and raise awareness of its various lifestyle benefits. The event will include special CYP (Ministry of AYUSH advocated Common Yoga Protocol) sessions led by HealthifyMe’s team of Indian Yoga coaches in a bid to highlight and raise awareness about CYP and promote its global practice. It will gradually dive into targeted tutorials on relaxation, rejuvenation and overall well-being conducted by masters from India and abroad. The schedule of the event can be accessed here.
Tushar Vashisht, Co-founder and CEO, HealthifyMe said, “Yoga is a symbol of India’s rich cultural heritage and is a gift from us to the world. At a time when the entire world is facing a health crisis ever, Yoga offers the tools and techniques to stay physically and mentally fit and boost immunity despite being restricted within the four walls of one’s home. 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.”
