Thank you for joining us!

With the blessings of Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji, the International Day of Yoga 2026 in IJmuiden has come to a beautiful close. We are grateful to everyone who participated — both in the hall and online through the global DKY Global Connect relay. See you in 2027!

With gratitude to all participants, teachers and volunteers.

Keep practising yoga

Yoga is a daily journey, not a single event. Even a few minutes a day — mindful breathing, gentle asanas, a moment of stillness — nourish a healthier, more balanced life.

Benefits of a regular yoga practice

  • Stress relief
  • Flexibility
  • Mental clarity
  • Better sleep
  • Inner peace
