DA NANG, Vietnam — Over a thousand yoga enthusiasts, instructors, and fans converged in the vibrant city of Da Nang for the International Yoga Program, an event that seamlessly blended culture, health, and camaraderie.

Unifying Through Yoga: A Global Common Health

The program, organized by the Union of Friendship Organizations and the Vietnam-India Friendship Association, in coordination with the Indian embassy in Vietnam, brought together 52 local yoga centers, clubs, and enthusiasts, along with Indian experts, tourists, and international friends residing in Da Nang.

“This event has strengthened the bond between Da Nang and India, promoting Indian cultural values in yoga, while fostering physical health and tourism,” said Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, Vice President of the Da Nang Popular Committee.

The event began with a traditional Indian lamp-lighting ceremony, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Participants then synchronized in practicing Indian yoga protocols, accompanied by the rhythmic song “Hello Vietnam.” The harmony and grace of the movements evoked a sense of tranquility and unity.

Among the participants was Mrs. Tran Thi, a four-year yoga practitioner who expressed her joy at the growing popularity of yoga in Da Nang. “It’s wonderful to see more people, including men, embracing this sport. I hope we’ll have more events like this,” she said.

In response to the growing demand, coach training centers have been established. Plans are underway to further organize large-scale tournaments and international events, ultimately making yoga one of Da Nang’s most popular sports.
