London:<\/strong> On Sunday, London embraced the 12th International Day of Yoga with enthusiasm, hosting a special yoga event at Holland Park organized by the High Commission of India.<\/p>\n P Kumaran, India\u2019s High Commissioner to the UK, participated alongside members of the Indian community and local yoga enthusiasts, engaging in asanas and mindfulness exercises in the park.<\/p>\n Despite the heat, hundreds of participants followed the expert guidance on stage, eager to embrace yoga.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is wonderful to see yoga gaining popularity worldwide,\u201d Kumaran shared with PTI. \u201cWe celebrate International Day of Yoga in various places to encourage its integration into daily life for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYoga can be adapted to suit all ages and abilities, and we hope people will incorporate it into their lives regularly instead of just once a year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n As the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is set to come into effect on July 15, the occasion also reflects the strengthening cultural ties between the two nations. \u201cWhile the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is focused on trade, the connections between our peoples are fundamental to our partnership,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n Holland Park, located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, is steeped in historical connections with India. Councillor Aarien Areti remarked, \u201cThis area has a rich history with India, including notable figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel. It is truly a privilege to bring yoga to this park.\u201d<\/p>\n Several well-known organizations such as Heartfulness UK, the Isha Foundation, and others played important roles in the event, promoting yoga and mindfulness practices.<\/p>\n This gathering followed another significant yoga event organized by the mission at the Strand near India House just days before. This year’s theme for the International Day of Yoga is \u201cYoga for Healthy Ageing,\u201d which highlights the benefits of yoga for individuals of all ages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 12th International Day of Yoga was celebrated in London with a vibrant event at Holland Park, arranged by the High Commission of India.
