Celebration of International Day of Yoga on the river Seine in Paris
Embassy of India, Paris is organizing a series of events on Yoga on the occasion of the Second International Day of Yoga. As a part of these celebrations, a Yoga event was organized on 21 June on the river Seine onboard the famous Bateaux Mouches boat sailing from the Eiffel Tower to the Notre Dame Cathedral. While the boat sailed past the prestigious monuments of Paris along the Seine river, the participants performed Yoga asanas in a rhythmic fashion. Yoga on the boat also drew the attention of thousands of tourists thronging the banks of the Seine.
Immersion into Yoga began with a session of meditation by the Yoga gurus of Art of Living. Ambassador of India, Dr. Mohan Kumar appreciated the enthusiasm of all participants and emphasized that for beginners, the International Day of Yoga is an introduction to the universe of Yoga and for the regular practitioners, it is another step in their journey of self-discovery.
