The 12th International Yoga Day was celebrated in many countries around the world. On this occasion, Isha Foundation also organized several yoga sessions. The foundation conducted yoga sessions for the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) at Adiyogi in Coimbatore and for NCC cadets and Border Security Force (BSF) at Sadhguru Sannidhi in Bengaluru.
Speaking at the yoga session, Sadhguru, founder of Isha Foundation, said, “Twelve years is almost equal to one ‘solar cycle’. We have completed one cycle of International Yoga Day. Now it is time to take it forward, so that no one in the world remains unaware that there are ways to better themselves.”
Emphasizing the true purpose of yoga, Sadhguru said, “What we call yoga is not a philosophy, ideology, belief or religion, and it certainly does not mean contorting the body, as many believe.
