International Yoga Togetherness

To keep-up pace with our responsibilities, objectives or challenges in life we actually have confined ourselves into the boundaries of concrete and cement. The life rolls on with distress, sore and hardships leaving our endocrine, musculoskeletal, respiratory, nervous, digestive and cardiovascular systems deeply affected. Indian Rishis introduced vedic sciences to overcome the bondages of materialism and opened the gateway to intellect, all round ideal health of total well-being and spiritual enlightenment. Roots from the vedic sciences, yoga is such a definitive way to live with a good physical & mental health, beauty and immortal state of spiritual existence.

Yoga though not a new word to anybody with various schools of practice such as Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Hatha Yoga has now transformed with popping up new schools such as Hot Yoga, Power Yoga, Dance Yoga and Couple Yoga etc etc.. that has somehow deprived us from understanding the authentic pathway to the traditional Indian Yoga. A true yoga practice would provide flexibility, strength to bones and muscles, improve the body posture, make you energetic and train to cope up with different situations both mentally and physically.

Upholding the belief, vedic knowledge and rich practice of Yoga, Vedicus Foundation is organizing “International Yoga Togetherness” a residential workshop-cum-training program to be held on the banks of holy river Ganga at Rishikesh. Rishi-kesh known as Yoga Capital of the World located in the foothills of the Himalayas is the gateway to Char Dham (Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri). The place has great religious significance with affluence of huge Ashrams, Yoga, Ayurveda, Naturopathy and Meditation centres. Besides Rishikesh is a hub for International tourism in India with adventure activities such as rafting, camping, trekking and bungee jumping available.
