The Dunedin Indian Association is presenting an International Yoga Day event on Saturday, June 21, featuring sessions led by local and international trainers.
Dunedin Indian Association organising committee member Rohit Jain said the event was a fantastic opportunity for everyone in the community to come together, regardless of experience, and embrace the spirit of yoga.
"Our association is deeply committed to fostering community unity and proudly promoting Indian traditions right here in Dunedin.
"We believe this event will be a fantastic way to connect, learn and experience the positive impact of yoga."
Attendees could expect a welcoming atmosphere and yoga sessions suitable for all ages.
"It is a perfect chance to unwind, rejuvenate and enjoy a sense of collective wellbeing."
The event will include a variety of practices.
Local children will perform suryanamaskar (sun salutations) and Navin Sahu will guide participants through pranayama (meditation).
Sri Radhashyamsunder Temple committee member Ajay Kumar will showcase shirshasana (headstand pose).
Members of Hindu Swayam Sevak Sangh, Dunedin will teach vyayam (exercise) and the Christchurch chapter of The Art of Living will take people through yoga and meditation sessions.
A highlight of the day will be ashtanga yoga led by internationally acclaimed yoga champion Yashwanth Anjaneya Reddy.
Mr Yashwanth also received the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Award from the Government of Karnataka in September 2018.
The yoga day event is organised in association with the High Commission of India, Wellington and Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, Dunedin.
