As a prelude to the celebration, numerous Yoga workshops and demonstrations in collaboration with well-known Doha based Yoga studios have been conducted by the Embassy in the last two months, including workshops for students in various schools based in Doha. In addition, Yoga sessions for the Indian community based in Al Khor were also organised.
