Join one of India’s most revered spiritual leaders and yogis, His Holiness Swami Chidanand Saraswati (www.PujyaSwamiji.org) for a historic first-of-its-kind celebration of International Yoga Day at the United Nations in New York City. Organized by the Indian Mission to the United Nations and attended by eminent dignitaries, this celebration will include music, meditation, chanting and dynamic yoga classes with two of America’s most renowned yoga experts — Seane Corn (www.SeaneCorn.com) and Sharon Gannon (https://jivamuktiyoga.com/teacher/sharon-gannon).
The event is in two parts: Part one is the evening of the 20th June from 6 – 7:30 pm on the North Lawn at the United Nations Headquarters where H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati, Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati (www.Sadhviji.org), Seane Corn and Sharon Gannon will lead a transformative program which will conclude with participation by all of New York’s yoga studios and inspiration to take yoga off the mat into the world.
Part two is the morning of the 21st from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm in the ECOSOC Chamber at the United Nations Headquarters which will be a high level panel discussion with questions-answers on Yoga and Health. H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati and Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati will be joined by leaders from the World Health Organization as well as corporate and media leaders in a compelling discussion on how yoga can lead to health for the body, the mind, the spirit and our communities and world.
Both events are free to all but, due to United Nations security, registration is required for the 21st morning event and requested for the 20th evening event. Registering will also ensure that you will be kept up to date with all program updates and details as it gets closer. Please note — for the 21st morning high level panel, only those who have pre-registered by the 18th June will be permitted inside.
