In the last five years, thousands of yoga enthusiasts from in and around Washington DC had celebrated the International Yoga Day either at the historic National Monument or on the lawns of the US Capitol facing the majestic national mall.
Yoga enthusiasts in America are planning to celebrate the sixth International Yoga Day this year at their homes as the deadly coronavirus has disrupted life. “This year, we are celebrating the 6th edition of the International Day of Yoga with the theme ‘Yoga from Home’,” India’s Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu told PTI ahead of the event on June 21. For health enthusiasts in the US, popular yoga guru Baba Ramdev is scheduled to conduct a virtual session on common yoga protocol with postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation during an online event organized by the Indian Consulate in Houston in collaboration with various community organisations
