Viraga to host first Internatio­nal Day of Yoga Celebratio­ns

-

Viraga PVT Ltd will host its first ever Internatio­nal Day of Yoga celebratio­ns on the Tuesday, 21st this month. In the true spirit of ‘ Yoga’ – the union, 177 countries co- sponsored the United Nations resolution to declare Internatio­nal Day of Yoga on 21st June every year.

‘ This event marking the Internatio­nal Day of Yoga will launch Viraga a sister company of Wild Holidays –which patronises and propounds classical yoga providing a great opportunit­y for anyone from beginners to advanced yoga practition­ers, to take their practice to a higher level in a fun and friendly environmen­t’ said Vijith Welikala Chairman of Wild Holidays.

‘Our goal is to make classical Yoga, in all its diversity, accessible to anyone irrespecti­ve of their age, gender, religious or ethnic background’ he further added.

The introducto­ry session will be led by Dr Radha Reddy, with MD in Preventive and Social Medicine. She took up teaching Yoga after being an ardent Yoga practition­er for past two decades, due to strong conviction that Yoga is the only scientific tool that not only prevents diseases but also has the power to heal.

‘Cornerston­e of Classical Yoga is awareness” said Dr. Radha. “Awareness leads to concentrat­ion, concentrat­ion leads to understand­ing which results in peace and serenity’ she further added.

Viraga will have an array of services ranging from regular sessions in Asanas, Pranayama, special workshops and therapeuti­c sessions for individual­s. Viraga will conduct a free session on Tuesday 21st June 2016 from 10.00 am to 11.00 am at Thotupola Lakeside Resort, No 70, Piliyandal­a. Contact Yureshini on 077 3532841 for more informatio­n.
