This event marked the second year of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bolton celebrating International Yoga Day which was first incepted by Indian Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi in 2015.

 

Yoga has many benefits and the regular practise of yoga can improve flexibility, strength, balance, focus, reduce stress and anxiety.
