Bangkok, Thailand – In a serene and spirited celebration of wellness, the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre (SVCC), Embassy of India, Bangkok, in association with Vishwa Hindu Parishad Thailand, marked a milestone 200th live yoga session and kicked off the countdown to International Day of Yoga 2025 with an invigorating yoga event on Sunday, May 25 at Saraff Sadan.
The morning unfolded with calm energy and collective enthusiasm as over 50 participants from diverse nationalities gathered for a powerful two-hour session.
