This years Yoga Aid Challenge was held in the picturesque City Botanic Gardens


150 people greeted the morning with 108 Sun Salutations. The day was just beautiful. Sheltered by a huge trees and cooled by a soothing breeze which swept in from the river. After about two hours of exercise everyone felt they had earned a really good rest

But the best part was saved till the end when everyone opened their hearts to yoga meditation
