New York(June 22, 2017)More than 12,000 yogis are expected to show up in New York’s Times Square for seven free yoga classes throughout the day on June 21st.
With downward-facing dogs and sun salutations, they’re celebrating the 15th annual Solstice in Times Square. This year’s theme is “Mind Over Madness Yoga.”
Tim Tompkins, president of Times Square Alliance and co-founder of the event says they chose the theme in response to recent violent events around the world.
A few weeks ago in Times Square a madman drove a car over people, right across the street,” Tompkins says. “And, so, one of the themes this year is the yoga notion of ahimsa, nonviolence, do no harm because we see that all throughout the world, and we need a little more peace in the world.”
