Yoga is an invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition, which embodies unity of mind and body. Yoga, like Ayurveda, forms a part of shared heritage of India and Sri Lanka. The First International Day of Yoga was celebrated with great fanfare in Sri Lanka at the iconic ocean side promenade of Colombo: Galle Face Green, where almost over 1750 yoga enthusiasts participated.
To celebrate 2nd International Day of Yoga, the High Commission of India will be organising a Yoga demonstration programme in collaboration with established yoga institutions of Colombo, at Viharamahadevi Open air theatre, Colombo 7 on 21 June 2016 from 6am to 8am.
