Art of Living Foundation guides Yoga Day celebrations

The Art of Living Foundation today led thousands of yoga enthusiasts at different venues in Mumbai and adjoining Navi Mumbai to mark the second International Yoga Day.
The main attraction was a yoga camp organised by the NGO at Poisar Gymkhana which was led by Swami Purnachaitanya from the Netherlands and attended by BJP MP Gopal Shetty, among others.
Nearly 100 policemen attended another event at Nagpada Police station and learnt the basics of the ancient fitness regime.
"The sequence of postures was based on the common yoga protocol prescribed by the Ministry of Ayush and the celebrations drew people from all walks of life, including children, youth and senior citizens," said a senior volunteer from the Foundation.

Mumbai chapter of the Foundation, in a statement, said yoga sessions were also held in prisons, corporate offices (at about 1000 locations), on cargo ships, schools for specially- abled children and public parks, among other locations.
The Foundation, through its volunteers and teachers, reached out to millions of yoga lovers in over 156 countries, it said.
