The video captures a Yoga Day event in Amsterdam organized by a speaker who credits Agala for support. The main organizer, a certified yoga teacher, shares a personal mission to help one million people adopt holistic, healthy lifestyles, emphasizing the ancient Patanjali definition of yoga as the cessation of mental fluctuations (yogas chitta vritti nirodha) to reveal true nature. Participants express their enjoyment of the session, noting the relaxing atmosphere enhanced by music and dance, and many say they intend to incorporate yoga into their daily lives. The overall tone is celebratory and motivational, highlighting community, wellness, and cultural connection to India’s Yoga Day.

Chapters

Just explain that you are the one who organized it. I just supported a little bit, but so all the props to Agala.
So today I have a lot of certifications on yoga, but that doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is Every soul I meet, every heart I touch, I want to help them to live holistic and healthy life. Today my mission is to help 1 million people to live holistic and healthy lives. Every day you begin, there is someone out there deprived of this knowledge. Okay, so the 3 important definitions I think no one have heard except my students about these definitions. So one of the first definition which is given 5,000 years ago, which is by Maharishi Patanjali, which is yogas chitta vritti nirodha. He says stoppage of mental modifications is yoga because when you stop these thoughts This mental modification, you will see your true nature. First you have to calm down your thoughts. You have to calm down your mind to see your true nature. Yoga is a journey to find your true nature.
Oh, it was really good and very relaxing, and I didn't expect this. I really did not miss India being part of Yoga Day today. It's really great. And we had enough people, very motivating, and we want to be— we want to make it— I want to make it part of my lifestyle now.
So yeah, I enjoyed it very much. There was music, dance, everything, and we ended with a nice yoga session. So I'm very peaceful now. It was very funny.
Yeah, you're a really funny guy, that's important. And when I laid down, I couldn't stand up anymore, I was so chill.
So it worked. How was the relaxation?
