To be precise, yoga is not just a health remedy or fitness formula but also a source of divine enlightenment.<\/strong> It synchronizes the beats of the heart, the pulses of the nerves and the flow of the blood with the powers of nature as well as the cosmic energy of the universe. <strong>The International Yoga Week in Rishikesh<\/strong> is the best opportunity to experience the transforming magic of this art and science.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Initiated in 2001, the Yoga Week has gone global with participation of foreign nationals in large numbers. Learning of yoga under the tutelage of spiritual gurus is the mainstay of the event.<\/strong> Besides, prominent exponents of yoga attend the event and give demonstrations on different yoga postures. The experts hand over the key for physical wellbeing, mental wellness, relaxed breathing, higher concentration level, calm inner self and the ecstasy of the soul to the enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Parmarth Niketan is a haven of spirituality in the lap of the <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/best-monasteries-in-leh-ladakh\/\" target=\"_blank\">Himalayas<\/a><\/span>.
