During the program, the organizers will encourage participants to bring their own water bottles in an effort to minimize the impact of plastic waste on the environment and respond to the meaningful "green life" spirit of this year's International Yoga Day.

The organizers want to spread the message: small actions can make great changes, and a beautiful soul should go along with beautiful actions, said Mr. Rajesh Uike at the press conference.

With the goal of protecting Vietnamese families, we are trying to build a solid foundation for life, help Vietnamese families have more awareness of physical training, skills, and support all to live healthy, peaceful, and prosperous lives without health risks. ”
