Marking a millennia-old tradition
The Consulate General of India in Marseille was host to the International Day of Yoga at ITER.
Dozens of people gathered early on Monday morning, 22 June, for an early session of yoga outside of ITER Headquarters. The event was hosted for the second year in a row by the Consulate General of India in Marseille.
Over the past decade, the International Day of Yoga has become a worldwide movement, uniting millions in the practice of yoga to enhance physical and mental wellbeing. The theme for the 2026 celebration was “Yoga for Healthy Ageing.” Approximately 500 people have joined a yoga and pilates group at ITER, with classes offered several times a week on site at the fitness centre inaugurated last year.
The Consulate General of India sponsored the 2026 event at ITER with yoga mats, T-shirts and a healthy breakfast.
