Vyaniti Yoga enters Limca Book Of Records

Vyaniti Yoga enters Limca Book Of Records

It was dream come true when more than 500 came together to celebrate health and performed 108 Suryanamaskar on Fri ,March 30th 2018 specially outside India,in Oman Muscat.
First time in history in a Gulf country such a huge crowd gathered for 108 Suryanamaskar and successfully completed.

We are truly grateful to His highness Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said for the constant support.

Our Vyaniti yoga studio in association with the Oman Cancer Association held a yoga event in Shangri-La Resort to promote cancer awareness, collect donations to help those affected  and spread knowledge on the role yoga plays in both curing and keeping all forms of cancer at bay

Once chief guest  HH Sayyid Marwan bin Turki bin Mahmoud al Said arrived and there was introduction speech by Mrs Prema Nagesh and Dr Wahid al Kharusi the Oman Cancer Association chairperson.He explained scientifically the benefits of right breathing in yoga which helps keep cancer at bay.

After that there was a demonstration by Padma Shri Nanammal One of India’s oldest and most respected yoga gurus  from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India,who even at the advanced age of 99 performed asanas which made even the 20 year olds members in the audience groan and ache , Guru Padma Shri Nanammal credits yoga in keeping her mind and body as quick as wip and has earned both the India's National Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2016 and the Padma Shri award in 2018 for her efforts in promoting this sacred art

After a brief set of warm up exercises to limber up the muscles and a small demonstration to ensure everyone followed the asanas perfectly and safely the count was started ,On the stage 12 participants were selected to lead the crowd from different countries and culture and age groups inspiring others to perform the 108 and among them was a senior citizens couple Mr V jayaraman and his wife Saraswati jayaraman who lead the charge despite being at the grand old age of 86 and 76 years.

it was a marvelous site to see both the young and old together performing this

ancient art of self improvement, some were there to support their loved ones and try to do as many as they could while others were there dead set to complete the record, many practicing for months in advance to ensure that they achieve perfect control over the breath in accordance with their movements , after all even one stance done out of sync with breathing can make one tired and thus ruin their chances of completing the 108 set with the rest, following the count set recorded by me as a teacher each stance had to be held for perfectly for 3 seconds and performed rhythmically with the previous and the next stance , bit by bit they pushed through the pain and the heat of the evening and keeping their minds focused on the recorded count.

Though the counting recordings that were used during the performance to keep track of the record worked perfectly,due to technical failure the audio track which was used to help people sync their movements stopped midway; and to our surprise everyone continued the counts together by chanting it on the top of their lungs each person syncing with the next through chant and thus their determination became the highlight of the day. As per the final count the group of 485 out of 530 completed their goal  and are now registered with the Limca book of records but each and every participant can now hold their head high and say to future generations that

they did their part in promoting good health and prosperity for all.

It is a proud moment indeed for all the participants on that day of performance and after receiving the news about the successfully entering the limca book of records.
