The day was first commemorated last year across the globe on June 21, after the United Nations passed an India-sponsored Resolution in December 2014.

 

Recognising that this ancient tradition originated from India, responsibility was entrusted to the Indian government to spearhead the IDY-related activities across the world through its diplomatic missions in cooperation with the host countries.

 

The Indian High Commission in Seychelles and the island’s Ministry of Tourism and Culture are organising the second International Day of Yoga (IDY) which will be marked in Seychelles on June 19.

 


The Seychelles Yoga Association and Nature Seychelles along with the Seychelles Tourism Board and the National Sports Council have all come on board to make this event a success.

The one-hour mass yoga session will be held at Palais des Sports, Roche Caiman as from 8am on June 19.

 


All those taking part in the session will be provided with free yoga mats and t-shirts.

 


Following the first International Day of Yoga (IDY), a coffee table book was launched with pictorial depiction of global celebrations to mark this special day last year.

 


The iconic photograph of 500 people performing yoga at Stad Popiler against the scenic backdrop of granitic mountains, documents the celebrations in Seychelles.

 


The Minister for Tourism and Culture Alain St.Ange said that since yoga is not new to Seychelles, it was therefore vital for our country to join in this international celebrations to mark the second International Day of Yoga (IDY).
