With Hon’ble PM Sh Narendra Modi’s efforts, June 21 was declared International Yoga Day by the United Nations General Assembly. The theme for Yoga Day is determined by the UN.
Each year the theme focuses on a specific aspect of Yoga that highlights its relevance and impact on society. The theme this year “Yoga for Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” beautifully captures our shared aspiration for “One Earth, One Family and One Future”.
Malbuites too celebrated International Yoga Day in the true spirit of this year’s theme.
Malibu Fun Club with its 50 volunteers, age irrespective, organised a six-day Yoga camp at Pine Drive Park which concluded on 21st June. It was conducted by resident yoga expert, Dr Alok Gupta who has over three decades of Yoga teaching experience. The classes invariably concluded with hectic Zumba sessions conducted by Dr Alok’s team.
Besides the above formal celebration free Yoga training is conducted by helpful and friendly Yog experts from 5:30 to 7 am at PD Park. Another camp was organised by Infinity Yoga Institute at BSNL Park from the 1st to the 21st of June.
With heavy rain playing spoilsport, a little-known ‘Vine Street yoga hub’ conducted by Yogacharya Sanveer celebrated Yoga Day in stilted parking. This group has been active since last year and conducts one-hour Yoga classes at 7: 20 am five days a week at Vine Street Park.
