Derived from the Sanskrit word 'Yuji' meaning yoke or union, Yoga is an ancient practice that brings together mind and body. Every year, since 2015, June 21 is being celebrated as International Day of Yoga across the world, thanks to our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In India, there is a sort of competition among cities including Mysuru to host the largest number of Yoga performers at a single venue. This year though Mysuru is not attempting a Guinness World Record, it has aimed to host 1.25 lakh Yoga enthusiasts at the sprawling Mysore Race Course. This Weekend Star Supplement sets the stage for the mega final rehearsal to be held on Sunday, June 16 and the main event on June 21.
