The Indian Cultural and Sports Community (ICSC ) Galway is inviting everyone in Galway to join the celebration of International Yoga Day 2026, taking place this Sunday, June 21, from 11am to 12.30pm at Coláiste Muire Máthair, St Mary's Road, Galway.
The event, organised in collaboration with the Embassy of India, Dublin, and Galway City Council, reflects a shared commitment to promoting health, wellbeing, community engagement, and cultural understanding through the timeless practice of yoga.
"International Yoga Day serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining harmony between the mind and body," said Jitendra Kumar Gogineni, event lead. "We are delighted to bring this celebration to Galway and warmly invite people of all ages and backgrounds to join us in experiencing the many benefits of yoga.
"This event is about bringing communities together through wellness and mindfulness. Whether you are new to yoga or have years of experience, we encourage everyone to participate and enjoy this opportunity to focus on health, relaxation, and connection with others."
The programme will feature two individual sessions led by experienced instructors Meenakshi Duraiswamy (independent ) and Anusha Gattu (Himalayan Meditation Group ), with each instructor guiding their own dedicated practice tailored to participants of all levels.
Both sessions will feature both yoga poses and breathing techniques, and will be followed by music meditation and guided relaxation.
The programme is designed to improve flexibility, reduce stress, enhance concentration, and experience the calming effects of yoga and meditation.
Light refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the event, providing attendees with an opportunity to connect and socialise with fellow participants.
As a limited number of yoga mats will be available at the venue, attendees are encouraged to bring their own yoga mats where possible.
Participation in the event is free of charge, and everyone is welcome.
