A celebration of stillness and self-discovery through yoga
Celebrating Yoga for One Earth, One Health On the morning of 21 June 2025, as the world paused to honour the 11th International Yoga Day , Shangri-La Eros New Delhi invited guests to gather on The Lawns of its Wellness Club for an enveloping sunrise experience, one that aligns breath, body, and being in a powerful celebration of stillness and self-discovery. Guided by prominent yoga therapist Abhishek Paul, this year's celebration reflected the global theme, Yoga for One Earth, One Health, not just in name but in practice. It is a reminder, drawn from both ancient wisdom and modern understanding that individual consciousness is deeply intertwined with the collective energy of all living beings. Just as the planet heals when we live mindfully, so too do we begin to heal when we attune ourselves to something deeper than our senses can grasp. The morning harboured Experience Expansion, a specially designed five-step journey that commenced at 7:00 a.m. It evolves gently: first by energizing the body, then balancing the breath, followed by relaxing the body to release tension and still the mind. In the ensuing moments, guests are guided into a space of focusing and defocusing the mind, cultivating a delicate dance between awareness and surrender. Ultimately, the session opens into prana expansion and the superconscious experience, an awakening to the vast, unbound energy that connects us all. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo As the sun rose higher, the group came together for an intimate discussion led by Paul, titled Breath – The Bridge Between Mind and the Body. In this reflective conversation, he shared insights into the power of the breath: how most of us breathe unconsciously, how that affects both body and mind and how breathing, when trained and understood, becomes the deepest tool for inner alignment and emotional clarity. Paul, who holds a Master's in Yoga Therapy from SVYASA Bangalore, brings with him years of experience in yogic healing, pranayama, and meditative practices. Having guided over 400 individuals through transformative journeys, his work is rooted in both precision and presence, an intuitive, guest-centric approach that welcomes practitioners of all levels. To conclude the experience, guests were offered thoughtfully crafted wellness bites, curated with the intention to nourish and revive in keeping with the brand's continued commitment to holistic luxury.

International Yoga Day 2025: Know the date, theme, history, and significance
International Yoga Day 2025 Date, Theme, History: Yoga is an ancient physical, mental, and spiritual practice with roots in India, with the word being derived from the Sanskrit word meaning to unite, symbolising the union of body and consciousness. Every year on June 21, International Yoga Day is commemorated to raise awareness about the multiple benefits of yoga and promote its holistic approach to health and well-being. This year marks the 11th anniversary on June 21, 2025, which falls on a Saturday, under the theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health' as designated by the United Nations. The theme highlights the connection between personal well-being and planetary health, aligning with the Indian ideal of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which holds that the world is one family. The idea behind International Yoga Day came in September 2014, when India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, introduced the notion during his address to the United Nations General Assembly. He highlighted the value of yoga as a comprehensive approach to health and well-being and proposed that June 21 be designated as International Yoga Day, which ultimately gained overwhelming support from UN member states, and the United Nations General Assembly declared June 21 International Yoga Day in December 2014.
