The first International Yoga Day saw millions of people come together to celebrate the spirit of yoga with much fervor. Yogathons organized by The Art of Living saw yoga enthusiasts from 132 countries rise up to the occasion and practice yoga at their local venues. From Paris’ scenic River Sienne to New York’s bustling Times Square, yoga brought people from all walks of life together and united them, thus living up to the literal meaning of its name.
