The March 1-7 event, organized by Parmarth Niketan ashram, includes 70 hours of yoga classes, evening discussions with spiritual leaders and other activities.
“Yoga continues to grow in popularity as a source of building inner and outer strength and for rejuvenating the spirit and soul,†said Ian Cambata, director of Greaves Tours, which has scheduled a 12-day tour “to introduce travelers to the enriching experience at the festival.â€
