New Delhi: As a key lead-up event to the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY), the Ayush Ministry will host ‘Yoga Connect’, a hybrid global summit on Saturday at Vigyan Bhawan here.
The summit will bring together yoga gurus, policymakers, health experts, business leaders, researchers, and global influencers, both from India and abroad, an official statement said here.
The event is being coordinated by the Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy (CCRYN).
‘Yoga Connect’ will follow a hybrid format, bringing together over 1,000 in-person participants along with virtual attendees from leading international yoga institutions and wellness communities.
Experts from more than four countries, including Bahrain, the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea, will join the summit.
A major highlight of the summit will be the release of ‘Yoga Prabhava’ report-a nationwide study conducted by CCRYN assessing the impact of IDY over the past decade.
