This program was organized by Akhil Bhartiya Yoga Mahasngh, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India on 21 June 2021. To create a new yoga world record in the longest – mass yoga world record category.
Organized from Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, the event transcended physical borders and created a ripple of peace that stretched across continents. Despite the ongoing global challenges, thousands of individuals synchronized their breaths, united by a common purpose—to celebrate the life-changing benefits of yoga and to foster a healthier, more connected world.
Anulom-Vilom Pranayama, a foundational breathing technique in yoga, is renowned for its ability to calm the mind, balance the nervous system, and cleanse the body’s energy channels. Practicing it for an extended period of twenty-one minutes demands focus, inner strength, and a deep sense of mindfulness. The success of this event demonstrated not just physical endurance, but an extraordinary mental and spiritual commitment to self-care and collective well-being.
This incredible initiative on the 7th International Yoga Day was a profound reminder of India’s rich yogic heritage and its relevance in today’s fast-paced, stressed world. The message was clear: Through breath, we heal; through unity, we rise.
