Siracusa, Italy – June 21, 2025 — The historic seafront of Ortigia will come alive with the spirit of unity and wellness as the 11th International Day of Yoga is celebrated at Largo Aretusa. This year’s event, themed “Yoga for One Earth, One Health,” will be graced by the revered presence of Pujya Sri Swami Ananda Saraswati, whose spiritual journey continues to inspire seekers across the globe.
Organized in collaboration with Vishvamitra International, the event invites participants of all backgrounds to join a free, open-air yoga session from 9:00 to 11:00 AM. Set against the tranquil backdrop of the Ionian Sea, the gathering promises a morning of mindfulness, movement, and collective harmony.
Pujya Sri Swami Ananda Saraswati, founder of Vishvamitra International and a guiding light in the global Vedantic and yogic community, has long emphasized the transformative power of yoga as a path to inner clarity. His recent teachings, including the launch of Tattva Bodha in Rome, have deepened the understanding of yoga beyond the physical, illuminating its spiritual purpose.
In the lead-up to this year’s celebration, Vishvamitra International has been actively engaged across Italy, hosting yoga and Vedanta sessions in cities like Catania and Rome. A recent event in Catania brought together a vibrant community of practitioners for a day of spiritual immersion and collective practice, further strengthening the organization’s presence in southern Italy.
“Yoga is not merely a practice—it is a way of being that connects us to the Earth, to each other, and to the divine within,” Pujya Sri Swami Ananda Saraswati shared in a recent message. His presence in Siracusa is expected to draw practitioners and admirers from across Europe and beyond.
The event is free and open to all. Participants are encouraged to bring their own yoga mats and an open heart. For registration and further details, contact Vishvamitra International at [email protected].
As the sun rises over Ortigia on June 21, the collective breath of hundreds will echo a timeless truth: that through yoga, we remember we are one. 🌍🧘♀️✨
