Large number of Yoga lovers took part in 2015 China International Yoga and Naturopathy Conference, which is an invaluable gift from ancient Indian tradition, said Ashok K Kantha, Indian ambassador to China.
He said Yoga had found a second home in China, recalling the celebrations across the country to mark the first International Day of Yoga on June 21 in which several thousand enthusiasts participated.
Both Indian and Chinese dreams ought to be aligned and pursued in a mutually supportive manner. It is important to celebrate the common cultural space between India and China, the two ancient civilisations that have interacted for over 2000 years, Kantha added.
Taichi is an internal Chinese martial art practised for both its defense training and its health benefits. Some training forms are especially known for being practised with relatively slow movement.
India and China are in the process of seeking national rejuvenation and prosperity for their people and that expanding cultural exchanges is an important element of cooperation between us, said Lin Yi, Vice President of China-India Friendship Association, who attended the conference.
