This unique event will not only promote the practice of yoga but also highlight the harmony between human beings and nature.
Bharati-Indian Research Base in Antarctica
In the remote and serene expanse of Antarctica, the Bharati-Indian research base will witness yoga enthusiasts coming together to celebrate the International Day of Yoga. Against the backdrop of ice and snow, participants will engage in yoga practices, emphasizing the importance of inner balance and well-being, even in the harshest environments.
The Significance of International Day of Yoga
The International Day of Yoga, celebrated globally on June 21st, was established by the United Nations to raise awareness about the benefits of practicing yoga.
