International Yoga Day Story Contest

Yoga, they say is a good practice which helps to boost creativity and here’s just the contest to put that to test. 

On the ocassion of International Day of Yoga, we at Yoga.in want to hear about your Yoga Story. Tell us about your experince as a practitioner of Yoga, an ‘aha moment’ that you’ve had with Yoga, favourite asana and why, a TTC experince that changed you, your travel to India, how Yoga transformed you, about your favourite Yoga Teacher, class, style or space – the ideas are endless.

The only criteria is, that your writing should weave together – Yoga, your experince with Yoga and if it helps a bit of India thrown in.  It’s your story and in your words.
