On June 21st ISW celebrated 10th International Yoga Day workshop. This day also coincides with summer solstice -the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Community members came together at the ISW center to enjoy yoga outdoors on a perfect Thursday evening.

The workshop began with a series of yoga poses, sun salutation and an introduction to varieties of breathing techniques. Narendra ji our yoga instructor demonstrated and explained about the Jal-Nethi technique. He explained how practicing jal-nethi helps people with allergies as these techniques help cleanse the nostrils and daily practice helps prevent colds/allergies in kids and adults. He ended the session with teaching some meditation techniques and ‘Om’ chanting.

This yoga workshop was run by our amazing volunteer Yoga instructor Narendra Karapurkar and the event was coordinated by Usha Yadav. More than 50 people participated in this event and practiced yoga, pranayama and learned about Jal-Nethi techniques.

Thanks to all the adults and kids, who participated in this workshop.
