Subject: Asia`s first Yoga Marathon in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has seen marathon events be it walking, running, cycling or swimming. The art and science of yoga now chooses Sri Lanka for its marathon -
30 days. 30 towns. 30 villages.
"When a beautiful island celebrates yoga, even continents join in " says Vidyut Udiaver yoga teacher with the Art of Living Foundation and organizer of the marathon. "Health and fitness enthusiasts are set to discover a new dimension this season".
Sri Lanka has been chosen as the first destination to launch Asia`s Yoga Marathon wherein for the first time SAARC countries and people from several other nations are expected to participate.
Launched by the Art of Living Foundation a charity organization of yoga experts in Sri Lanka, the Sun salutations Yoga Marathon will feature the teaching, practice and performance of the graceful Sun salutations or popularly known as the Surya Namaskar sequence of yoga postures.
"Surya Namaskar is a complete full-body workout" says Vidyut Udiaver . "It is called full-body because in Surya Namaskar you use multiple body parts and enhance balance by making different elements dependent on each other. You mimic natural movements utilizing your legs, arms and working your back muscles, abs". This technique is to be made available as a humanitarian charity service initiative to improve the health and fitness across Sri Lanka.
The Yoga Marathon is an incredible tribute from Sri Lanka to commemorate the 30 years of Art of Living`s humanitarian service lead by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
The benefits of sun salutation or surya namaskar are many - relieves stress, improves overall health and body immunity, rejuvenates, strengthens, builds stamina and promotes relaxation.
The upcoming Sun salutation Marathon event is also set to mark the inauguration of the Year of Yoga Worldwide declared by the Art of Living Foundation. The event schedules and pre-event activities will be announced shortly.
