Yoga is an invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition. It embodies the unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Yoga is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with ourselves, the world and Nature" - Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi.

Recognizing the role of Yoga in uniting mankind, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the 'International Day of Yoga', to raise awareness about the many benefits of practising yoga.

As part of the annual worldwide Yoga celebrations, the Embassy of India, in collaboration with the Portuguese Yoga Federation and the Lisbon City Council, is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the International Day of Yoga with a major Yoga class.
