On the longest day of the year, 21 June, which corresponds to the summer solstice, the International Day of Yoga is celebrated around the world. It was established in 2014 by the United Nations General Assembly in recognition of the ancient millenary discipline that combines exercise, breathing techniques and meditation to improve physical and mental well-being.
Yoga Day
In Riccione, Yoga Day will take place in Piazzale Ceccarini and in the beautiful setting of the Parco degli Olivetani. There will be two lessons and they will coincide with two special moments of the day, after sunrise and before sunset, in the company of yoga teacher Renza Bellei. It begins at 6.30 a.m. with "Solar Yoga" in Piazzale Ceccarini and we will say goodbye to the special day at 6.30 p.m. with "Hatha yoga" at the Parco degli Olivetani. The two meetings, each lasting one hour, are free of charge: it is necessary to bring a mat and white or light-coloured clothing is recommended.
