Hundreds of yogis turned up for the 11th International Day of Yoga in Windhoek, organised by the Indian Embassy.

Namibians were joined by India's High Commissioner, Rahul Shrivastava, and Indian nationals enjoyed a morning of body union and consciousness through yoga. 

Yoga is recognised as a powerful tool to deal with stress and isolation while maintaining physical wellbeing.

International Yoga Day aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practising yoga.

Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline that originated in India but is now performed in various forms all around the world.

Recognising its universal appeal, in 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the International Day of Yoga.
