On 7th March, the Indian High Commission in tandem with the Rebecca Miano Foundation held a Yoga Wellness Experience in celebration of International Women’s Day at the serene grounds of Karura Forest.
The Indian High Commissioner HE Namgya Khampa addressed the attendees, who also included dignitaries.
The yoga session was accompanied by live flute music in the background which enhanced the experience further.
The yoga instructor took the attendees through a routine catered for beginners to advanced practitioners. At each point, explaining the benefits of each pose and in achieving a harmonious balance between the mind and body.
One of the highlights of the class was the practice of the Sun Salutation, a sequence of 12 postures performed in a graceful flow. Incredibly, the instructor mentioned that there are approximately 8.4 million yoga postures, each with its unique benefits and challenges.
The session concluded with a meditation, a serene and introspective practice that allowed the participants to reflect on their experiences and the sensations within their bodies. This final phase of the class provided a moment of stillness, helping to cement the physical and mental benefits of the yoga practice.
After the event, brunch was served and there was an opportunity for networking.
The event highlighted yoga’s potential to foster physical strength, mental clarity, and emotional resilience, making it an invaluable practice for women seeking to empower themselves from within.
