Breathe as One: International Day of Yoga in Nice

The Breathe as One event, taking place on June 19th is held on a very auspicious day, the eve of our longest day of the year, summer solstice; the minds, bodies and spirits of people across the world will come together in harmony for the International Day of Yoga.

Throughout history, many cultures have associated the summer solstice and yoga with a renewal of mind, body and spirit, a day for people to open their hearts to a sense of well being.

In Nice, from 9am until 6pm on Sunday June 19th, yogis from the city and beyond will come together to celebrate this ancient Indian practice on Colline du Château. Breathe As One is a free yoga event hosted by Kellie Delkeskamp in collaboration with yoga studios from all over the Côte d’Azur and the Italian Riviera.

The event offers the chance to participate to free yoga classes open to anyone and everyone, in sync with the grand yoga movements happening around the world: New york city in Times Square, Paris at the Palais and Barcelona, Spain.

In addition to yoga classes, there will also be plenty of entertainment and demonstrations, as well as massage centres, lectures, a marketplace and food trucks.

The first International Day of Yoga was launched on the summer solstice last year by the United Nations following calls from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold the annual event on this historically important day.
