With the world as it is today, living in Delhi-NCR means being in a permanent overdrive. Between endless traffic and concrete hustle, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the world around us and from ourselves. There’s a longing to pause, reset, and just breathe. Long before the UN officially declared June 21 as International Yoga Day, India had championed the art of mindfulness and brought people together. Falling right on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, it incites an incredible and powerful start. Thus, on the occasion of International Yoga Day, this Sunday, venues around the capital have planned refreshing yoga events. Some free and some (almost) free, here are some of our most recommended ones.
International Yoga Day with FitIndia
The iconic Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is playing host to the massive 12th International Day of Yoga under FitIndia, creating the capital’s largest wellness gathering centred around “Yoga for Healthy Ageing.” This high-energy event brings together thousands of participants to roll out their mats alongside top Bollywood celebrities and the country’s most influential wellness mentors, led by celebrity yoga expert Anshuka Parwani. To give the morning a dynamic, well-rounded boost, a powerhouse lineup of industry experts will take the stage, including Yukti Arya (Director of R&D at Yes Madam and Ms Asia Pacific Universe 2019), wellness coach Divya Ahuja, record-holding marathon coach Jitendra Advani, national yogasana judge Monika Sharma, and Zumba instructor Neetu Chawla. So, absorb the collective energy, learn holistic movement from the absolute best in the business, and leave completely revitalised.
