The festival will be the follow up of Yoga Day program which has been intensified in the past two years.

According to Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia, yoga is a healing system of theory and practice. It is a combination of breathing exercises, physical postures, and meditation that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years.
While yoga evolved as spiritual practice in Hinduism, in the Western world, a part of yoga, known as Asana, has grown popular as a form of purely physical exercise.
Some Western forms have little or nothing to do with Hinduism or spirituality, but are simply a way of keeping fit and healthy.
