India organises sessions in Jerusalem ahead of International Day of Yoga

India, along with Jerusalem Municipality, organised a special yoga session with hundreds of enthusiasts participating ahead of the main event next week.

The special session on Tuesday was organised at the iconic Mamilla Mall, overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. It was led by Yael Yitzhak-Idan, accompanied by live Bansuri music performed by Ofra Avni.

In Israel, 12th International Day of Yoga (IDY) will be observed on June 21 at the Tel Aviv-Yafo port, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

It was attended by members of the diplomatic corps, distinguished guests, yoga practitioners, and the general public in a shared practice under the theme, “Yoga for Healthy Ageing.” “This year’s theme of the International Day of Yoga, ‘Yoga for Healthy Ageing’, is both timely and relevant, reminding us of the vital role yoga plays in promoting graceful and healthy ageing,” India’s Ambassador to Israel, J P Singh, told the gathering.
