Anna Pavlova, a leading yoga instructor, is an economist by training. She became very ill and this took her to yoga. Doctors saidthey could do nothing to help her and told her she had a few months left to live.
“This was in the 1960s, and I was 23”, says Anna Pavlova. “I did not believe that anything could be done outside official medicine, but I decided to try yoga. I worked hard and in 3 to 4 months most of my symptoms disappearedand a year later I felt perfectly well. Being a curious person, I wanted to learn more about this system that was so effective where official medicine had failed. At first, I took an interest in everything concerning health. After that I started exploring yoga's relation to the mind and spirit. I have been practicing yoga for fifty years. On 21 June I will give a lecture on Yoga & Chakras, because this knowledge is the basic springboard for revealing one's potential.”
The International Yoga Day program includes topics such as Yoga & Longevity, Yoga in Education: Studying with Joy, Techniques for Improving Thinking, Yoga as a Therapeutic System and others.
