by Idriss Raoua Ouedraogo

So pleased to inform you that our organisation, Association Himalayenne de Yoga Méditation of Burkina Faso, lead the celebration of International Yoga Day in Burkina Faso in the presence of the Minister of Sport, Dr. Tahirou Bangre, and the Indian Consul in Burkina, Mr. Deepak Ramchandani.

In his speech, The Minister suggested the implementation of Yoga sessions in the Burkina Institute of Sports Sciences where all teachers of sport are trained and the introduction of Yoga sessions in Burkina schools’ activities.

Based on the Minister’s instruction, the first Yoga class started on Tuesday of June 27th with his participation.

With Gurudev’s grace and the blessings from Swami Veda Bharati ji, we are reorganizing our activities to be able to feed the needs with a target of thousands people for next year’s International Yoga Day.

Om shanti, shanti, shanti.
