The yoga event, which begins at 08:30 for 09:00 and ends at 12:30, will be followed by a cultural performance, including an Indian classical performance and Zulu dance performed by the local South African community.

The day also serves as an opportunity for people to come together and experience the transformative power of yoga.
This year’s event is under the theme ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakan’ – a celebration of India’s gift to humanity – with the ‘public partnership’ or ‘Jan Bhaagidari’ approach of mobilising communities across the globe to come together.
An estimated 250 million people are due to participate worldwide.
