Bengaluru: Marking the International Day of Yoga, Isha Foundation is conducting nearly 1,000 yoga and meditation sessions across the country, with an estimated participation of 50,000 people from corporates, education, medical, government, defence institutions and community spaces.
Speaking about the deeper significance of yoga, Sadhguru has said, “Yoga is not just an exercise. It is a process and system through which human beings can find their highest possible potential.”
Reflecting this understanding, the sessions are designed to offer participants an experiential introduction to yoga as a holistic science for wellbeing and inner transformation. The sessions are being facilitated by trained volunteers and teachers from Isha Foundation. As part of the initiative, participants are being guided to simple yet powerful yogic practices that can be easily incorporated into daily life to enhance physical health, mental wellbeing and quality of life.
Alongside these sessions, participants are also being introduced to Miracle of Mind, Sadhguru’s free seven-minute guided meditation that enables anyone to effortlessly make meditation a part of their daily routine. Offered through the Miracle of Mind app, the meditation has reached over 3.5 million active users globally and is currently available in six languages — English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Spanish and Russian. On the occasion of International Day of Yoga, six additional languages — Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Bangla, Italian and Nepali — will be added to the app, making the meditation accessible to an even wider audience in their native languages. Requiring no prior knowledge or experience of yoga, the meditation is accessible to people from all walks of life. The app is available free for life at isha.sadhguru.org/in/en/miracle-of-mind.
Complementing the nationwide outreach, special International Day of Yoga celebrations will also be held at Isha centers. At Sadhguru Sannidhi Bengaluru, a large-scale gathering will take place in the presence of Adiyogi, bringing together more than 2,300 participants, including NCC cadets, Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, students, villagers, volunteers and members of the public. Meanwhile, at the Isha Yoga Center Coimbatore, over 700 participants, including 500 students from the Young Indians Coimbatore Chapter and 200 personnel from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), will take part in the yoga and meditation sessions.
