Yoga day celebration brings families together for wellness & fun in Bengaluru
The Times of India's
International Day of Yoga
celebration turned into a vibrant wellness fest on Saturday as families, especially women and children, came together for a morning filled with movement, mindfulness, and a whole lot of energy.
The event was organised at Mantri Webcity, Hennur.
Held to promote holistic well-being, the event brought together a rich mix of traditional and modern fitness formats. From calming asanas to high-energy dance routines, the session had something for everyone.
Residents were treated to a blend of practices, including Ashtanga yoga, led by in-house trainers Naina and Deepti, Vedic yoga, Kundalini yoga with Shri Manjunath Sampath Guruji, and even Chinese yoga by Falun Dafa.
Fitness took a fun turn with a lively Zumba session by The Swingers Dance Studio, which had everyone moving to the beat by the end of the programme. What started with slow stretches and deep breathing soon turned into an energetic celebration of wellness.
Kids were seen enjoying flexibility drills while many women participated enthusiastically in the Zumba finale.
Pragya Sharma, a housewife who attended the different yoga shows, told TOI: "I used to do yoga before marriage, and I still love it.
But now, with two kids, I don't get much time. That's why today's event was such a great opportunity not just for me, but for many of us at Mantri Webcity who don't usually get time for ourselves."
Shradha, a college student, said, "This is the first time something like this has happened in our apartment, and I really loved it. I came alone because I'm more interested in yoga than my family is. I enjoyed the yoga session and the games; it was a fun and refreshing way to spend the morning."
Adding to the festive spirit were stalls offering fresh juice and light refreshments, along with engaging fitness games hosted by Decathlon, making it a family-friendly event. Interesting outdoor activities by Decathlon and a green corner by Make My Garden for plants engaged citizens. This blend of tradition and fun truly captured the spirit of International Day of Yoga — reminding everyone that wellness can be both mindful and joyful.
The initiative was made possible by associate sponsors CKPC, with BB Daily as the fresh grocery partner, BIS as the safety partner, and Sundaram Motors as the luxury car partner. The initiative was supported by Oreva Chain of Hearing Clinics, Neev Mattresses, Dash Square, Unilet, Can Fin Homes Ltd, and Jyothy Institute of Technology.

Weekly Chinese Horoscope, June 22 to June 28, 2025: Five zodiacs that need to be cautious
Snake Snakes' internal reorganization is the topic of discussion this week. Your inner voice is your compass, even if the first week may feel hectic. The "Remove Day" on Thursday encourages you to get rid of both mental and physical clutter. Steer clear of excessive chatter, digital overload, and diversions. Instead, make room for reflection. Goat This week, goats go through a healing procedure. In the beginning, you could notice an increase in tension, particularly in stressful situations. Thursday is the day to take a step back and reevaluate commitments or relationships. The weekend is a time for regrouping and catching up. Before continuing, give yourself time to regroup and take a deep breath. Horse The focus this week is on upholding your autonomy and limits. You feel the need to establish boundaries early in the week, particularly on Wednesday. Another "Remove Day," Thursday, requires that you express your wants clearly. A polite reminder or email could be required. Unplug on Sunday and make plans for July. Rooster By the middle of the week, roosters begin to notice trends and pain. You can feel skeptical of habits or relationships around Tuesday and beyond. It's simple to start nitpicking, so be mindful of that. Take a moment on Thursday to relax and let go of small issues. Being honest is great, but avoid causing friction with much analysis. Ox Although Ox is on both lists, this week's topics are boundary-setting and structure. Midway through the week, particularly around Thursday's Remove Day, early strength meets possible strain. Saying no is acceptable if others have unreasonable expectations of you. This week, self-care is still a subtle but crucial way to make progress.

Cooler Than Ice: Top 4 Nonchalant Zodiac Signs
Ever met someone who doesn't flinch when plans change at the last minute, never overthinks texts, and walks through an important presentation like they're floating on a cloud? No, they're not enlightened monks. They're probably just born under one of these zodiac signs that have mastered the fine art of 'not caring too much'. These people stay immune to drama and eat ice cream while the world burns (metaphorically, of course). Let's find out the top 4 most nonchalant zodiac signs - Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) You know it's a Sagittarius when they are lying on a hospital bed with a fractured leg and laughing about how they ended up there. This fire sign doesn't believe in stressing over the past or even the future. Unlike others, they forgive themselves for their mistakes and rarely admit they're feeling low. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Don't get confused by the calm demeanor of a Scorpio. Their mind might be bursting with strong emotions, but you'll never know. They're great at keeping a straight face, like nothing ever gets to them. They will act like you don't even exist if you hurt them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo But deep inside, all they want to do is punch your face. Libra (September 23 - October 22) Libra remains so chill about everything that it's almost annoying. While others lose their cool, Libras are out here sipping tea and changing the subject. They don't sweat the small stuff, or even the big stuff. They weigh every side of a situation and still say, 'Let's just not fight about it.' Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Aquarians are too busy plotting the next revolution or imagining life on Mars to care about your gossip or relationship drama. They live in their own futuristic headspace and believe emotions should come with an off switch. Need a friend who won't judge you for texting back after 4 days? Call an Aquarius. Whether they were born this way or just mastered the art of not caring too much early, these zodiac signs are proof that sometimes, the best reaction is no reaction at all!
