FICQ presents the 9th International Day of Yoga at Queensland Parliament, a transformative celebration of yoga’s physical, mental, and spiritual benefits
The Federation of Indian Communities of Queensland (FICQ) in association with the High Commission of India, Australia, painted the Queensland Parliament in hues of peace and tranquillity on the 18th of June, as they hosted the resplendent 9th International Day of Yoga.
The event, which witnessed an impressive turnout, served not only as a platform for practising and promoting yoga, but also as a symbolic representation of the transformative prowess of this ancient Indian discipline. The International Day of Yoga, marked globally on 21 June, seeks to underline the plethora of physical, mental, and spiritual perks associated with yoga.
This year’s extravaganza, diligently curated by the FICQ, offered an unparalleled opportunity for individuals to immerse themselves in the comprehensive practices of yoga and meditation.
Leading the spiritual charge were Dr Sukhvir Singh from Arya Pratinidhi Sabha of Queensland, Santhosh Kundathra and Saji Ramakrishnan from Samskruthi Queensland, and Seema Lathker, along with the team from Art of Living Brisbane. Their skilful instructions navigated participants through a series of refreshing and illuminating sessions, instilling a tangible aura of balance, well-being, and inner tranquillity.
The organisers expressed their heartfelt appreciation towards Cr Vicki Howard and Mrs Archana Singh, the Honorary Consul of India in Brisbane, for their esteemed presence at the event. FICQ also extended its gratitude to the instructors, participants, volunteers, and community members whose collective efforts contributed immensely to the event’s resounding success.
The 9th International Day of Yoga celebrations at the Queensland Parliament underscored the profound bond between Australia and India, epitomising the significance of cultural exchange and the transformative influence of yoga on the lives of individuals. As the event drew to a close, it left behind an indelible imprint of peace, unity, and a greater appreciation of the art that is yoga.
