The Tulu community in Singapore came together on a Sunday on 16.Jun.2024 to commemorate International Yoga Day observed on 21st June every year. The educational session was conducted by Shri.Milind Sattur, a media professional and Yoga trainer who volunteered for the event. Session coordinator Shri.Rajesh Acharya welcomed all participants. The session was conducted at a local park in Singapore where Tulu community members gathered for a half day outing during the long weekend.
Members enjoyed the warmup tips and a few simple Yoga postures or asanas that could be performed while standing as the session was on grass which was moist and humid due to the Singapore weather. Many members expressed happiness for organizing the session as it was helpful for them to continue the practice. Session coordinator Shri.Nithyananda Hegde felicitated the trainer, thanked the participants and concluded the session.
Our proud member Smt. Sahana Girish even penned a Tulu poem in memory of the event. Kudos to her efforts
