For the tenth consecutive year in the days around June 21, many countries across the world celebrate the International Day of Yoga. In Bulgaria, from June 15 to 23, a total of 44 settlements, including the largest cities - Sofia, Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Burgas, Varna, Ruse, Veliko Tarnovo, Pleven, etc., will participate in the celebration with various programs. In Sofia, the climax is on June 23 from 10:00 am to 6:30 pm in the National Palace of Culture.
The celebration of the International Day of Yoga in Bulgaria takes place under the auspices of the Ambassador of the Republic of India H.E. Mr. Sanjay Rana and is organized by the Bulgarian Yoga Federation, East-West Indological Foundation and India Association.
Interest in yoga in Bulgaria dates back to the 1920s. Nowadays, yoga practices are easily accessible in Bulgaria through a wide network of yoga studios in all major cities, in most of the smaller towns and also in a few villages. Yoga is also promoted in some kindergartens, schools and universities. It is most comprehensively taught in the "Vasil Levski" National Sports Academy and India centers in this country. It is no coincidence that during the first celebration of the International Day of Yoga in 2015, Bulgaria was placed among the leading countries with developed knowledge and achievements in the field of yoga.
