"Yoga, in my opinion, is a science. After all, what is science? For example, we conduct an experiment, look at the results, draw conclusions, write them down, make texts. And philosophical texts about yoga recorded results of the practice of more than 5 thousand years. This is an amazing ancient system about how to live, how to be healthy, how to keep the balance of soul, body and mind as well as how to be happy. To do this, there are simple truths: speak sweetly, think sweetly, make friends, not enemies, " said Ms. Natalia.

The performance of Daria Antonenko, the representative of the organization of the international unions of the independent yoga centers of the Ukrainian Federation of Yoga, and her colleagues was the highlight of the press conference. Yogis taught the guests of the meeting to breathing exercises, and showed many examples of physical exercises.

We invite everyone to visit the Yoga Festival in Mariinsky Park, scheduled for June 22, 2019, from 14:00 to 21:00, to learn about the benefits of yoga, to try Indian cuisine, to see the different directions of Indian culture. Entrance and participation in the event are free.
