International Day of Yoga 2025

Yoga Session with UNFICYP Peacekeepers

Date: 28 May 2025
Venue: UNFICYP Sector 1 Headquarters

As part of the celebrations for the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY 2025), the High Commission of India, Nicosia, in collaboration with UNFICYP and The Art of Living, hosted a rejuvenating morning yoga session on 28 May 2025 at the UNFICYP Sector 1 Headquarters.

Held under the guiding theme “Yoga for One Earth, One Health,” the session brought together UN personnel and peacekeepers in a spirit of peace, wellness, and unity. The event served as a powerful reminder of yoga’s ability to harmonize body, mind, and communities, transcending borders and backgrounds.

Led by experienced instructors from The Art of Living, the session focused on breathing techniques, physical postures, and mindfulness, promoting physical vitality and mental clarity. Participants responded with enthusiasm and deep engagement, creating a serene and energizing atmosphere.

This initiative forms part of a larger island-wide #IDY2025 campaign led by the Mission under the visionary leadership of High Commissioner Mr. Manish, promoting wellness diplomacy, intercultural harmony, and India’s ancient wisdom of holistic health.

Throughout the month of June, similar yoga sessions are being organized in collaboration with leading yoga studios, educational institutions, wellness centers, and community partners—including Δήμος Λεμεσού - Limassol Municipality—bringing yoga to parks, campuses, and public spaces across Cyprus.
