Nehru Centre, the cultural wing of the High Commission of India in London, is all set for its next batch of free Yoga, Kathak, and Bharatanatyam classes from next month.
The duration of the Yoga and Dance courses would be for a period of eight weeks, made up of three hours per week, with a new batch commencing every two months.
The classes are offered free of cost to all Yoga and classical Indian dance enthusiasts. The total number of seats under each course is fixed between 25 to 30 students only, with places allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Celebrated author Amish Tripathi, Minister (Culture) and Director of the Nehru Centre in London, told iGlobal during International Day of Yoga celebrations back in June that regular free programmes at the centre are at the heart of ensuring that Yoga can benefit the diaspora all year round.
“One thing we believe is that Yoga should not be seen for a particular day. It’s not just for June 21, the International Day of Yoga, it should be a year-long practice, a lifestyle choice,” he said.
