International Yoga Festival, India
When : 1st To 7th March 2017Location : Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India
Yoga is not a religon. It does not require you to believe in a certain God or chant certain mantras.Yoga literally means "union". It is a union of breath and the body, the mind and muscles and most importantly union of the self to the divine. What better place to become "united" than on the sacred banks of Mother Ganga, in a land to which sages have flocked for millennia? To promote the ancient science of Yoga, a weeklong event is organised in Rishikesh (Himalayan Foothills),India, during the first week of March. Get your asanas sorted during the Rishikesh's International Yoga Festival at the Parmath Niketan Ashram. The "yoga capital of the world" is an appropriate setting. Everything that your soul needs is here in abundance: serenity, inspiration and the divine touch. Be with nature, learn from nature, and change your nature. Yoga is an ancient science which leads to health in the body, peace in the mind, joy in the heart, and liberation of the soul.
