More than 2,000 people had gathered at Zabeel Park to break the Guinness World Record for the largest number of nationalities participating in an international yoga event.
The vibe at Zabeel Park was electrifying with a sense of excitement and anticipation began to build in the air as the sun began to set over.
The event was organised by the Dubai Sports Council, in coordination with various partners with the objective of uniting the world in the pursuit of good health and wellness and with the aim of promoting the benefits of yoga for physical and mental health.
The most nationalities in a yoga lesson is 114 and was achieved by Indian Sports Centre under the aegis of Embassy of India (Qatar), in Doha, Qatar, on 25 March 2022.
Najmah Delzendehroiy, a yoga instructor and a coach, said that it was a great event to socialise with like-minded people around. The Iranian expat has been into yoga for the last 30 years. “I met people who do yoga on a regular basis. It was an incredible experience to be part of such a event. Practising yoga in the evening was challenging, but it also added a unique sense of calm and serenity to the practice,” said Delzendehroiy.
Ahmed Mazen, a Lebanese expat came to the park along with his family for an outing. “But when I heard about the event, we all participated. Thankfully we were on our sportswear,” he said.
