Yoga Unites: Celebrating the International Day of Yoga at South Africa's Heritage Sites

Enthusiasts from all walks of life will gather at the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to celebrate the International Day of Yoga in South Africa. The event aims to connect ancient Indian philosophy with today's quest for harmony with nature.

Mahesh Kumar, the Consul General in Johannesburg, emphasized the iconical nature of the venue. He expressed that yoga, symbolizing the unity of mind, body, and environment, finds a perfect backdrop in this landmark known for its historical and cultural significance.

Organized by Indian missions, this year's celebrations have extended to UNESCO Heritage sites and rural provinces. Events include sessions at the Royal Natal National Park and engagements involving local communities to emphasize yoga's broad appeal in fostering wellness.
