Yoga Tours in India for Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Enhancement
It was the 21st of June – World Yoga Day – just a couple of days ago. The intent of this day is to emphasize the importance of Yoga as a holistic approach to physical and emotional wellbeing. The Sanskrit word ”Yoga” roughly translates to ”Union” or to ”join, harness, yoke together.” This seeking of deeper connect and union through Yoga could be with self, society, environment, or God.
