Yoga mats are rolling out across Bahrain as the Indian Embassy launched its 25-day countdown to International Day of Yoga 2025 with a curtain raiser event at its premises, drawing participation from across the Kingdom.
Community stretch
The launch event brought together students from Embassy-run yoga classes, Indian community members, Embassy officials, and local yoga enthusiasts in a shared celebration of wellness and unity.
It marked the latest in a series of pre-Yoga Day initiatives, including earlier sessions held in April to commemorate the 75-day and 50-day milestones.
Officials said the campaign is part of a broader drive to promote healthy living and mindfulness through yoga, not just among the Indian diaspora, but across Bahrain's diverse communities.
Month of movement
Throughout June, the Embassy will continue hosting yoga-related activities leading up to the global celebration on June 21st, recognised worldwide as International Day of Yoga.
The calendar will include public sessions, outreach initiatives, and awareness campaigns highlighting the physical and mental benefits of yoga.
The Embassy has invited all yoga lovers and practitioners in Bahrain to join the movement and take part in the upcoming main event, describing it as an opportunity to connect with a global wave of wellness.
By building momentum throughout the month, the Indian Embassy hopes to highlight yoga as a tool for inner peace, cultural exchange, and cross-border harmony.

Bahrain To Experience Typical Summer Weather
The Kingdom of Bahrain is expected to experience typical summer weather during the upcoming Eid Al-Adha holidays, with daytime temperatures reaching the low 40s°C and nighttime temperatures dropping to the high 20s°C-closely aligning with the monthly average for June. According to the Meteorological Directorate, wind speeds are expected to ease during the holiday period. Winds will generally be light and variable in direction, though they may occasionally become moderate during daytime hours. In recent days, Bahrain and the wider Arabian Gulf have experienced strong northwesterly winds, sometimes reaching severe levels. This was due to the seasonal extension of the Indian monsoon low-pressure system, which affects the region during this time of year. This system typically brings about dominant northwesterly winds, locally known as Barah winds. The Meteorological Directorate advises residents and visitors to remain updated on weather conditions during the festive period and to take necessary precautions during peak afternoon hours.

I pray that those who are injured have a speedy recovery,' the Prime Minister's Office posted on X.
