The three-day Rishikesh Yoga Festival at Parmarth Niketan concluded with the participation of over 500 yoga enthusiasts from more than 25 countries. Participants engaged in transformative yoga sessions, workshops and satsangs presided over by Sadhvi Bhagawati. The festival had opened on December 14, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Yog Guru BKS Iyengar. Workshops on Iyengar Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, meditation, sound healing and Ashtanga Vinyasa were held. Over two dozen schools participated in the concluding ceremony. People were urged to celebrate the World Meditation Day to be celebrated with the same zest as World Yoga Day is celebrated on December 21.
The Parmarth Niketan head Swami Chidanand Saraswati said that yoga unifies the people of the world across the national boundaries. “Yoga is more than just asanas—it’s a way of life that heals, unites, and uplifts,” shared Sadhvi Bhagawati.
