If during the year we already have different reasons to enjoy yoga, the arrival of International Yoga Day is no less and makes us celebrate and practice in a much more special way.

Celebrated annually on June 21, this day intentionally coincides with the summer solstice, which marks the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. This day represents gratitude and peace and is celebrated in community with yoga and wellness activities directing all energy towards the sun.

Traditionally, 108 Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) are practiced on this day as an offering to the Sun or the god Surya.

A CLASS WITH XUAN LAN

After celebrating it with our yogi community in Madrid, we went to Barcelona to enjoy a session with our ambassador Xuan Lan.

We organized a class in the garden of the Hotel Arts Barcelona: the afternoon sun was shining, the sea breeze was flowing while the sun was setting, "Follow the sun" was playing and other songs that made the practice flow.

See you next International Yoga Day!
