Themed “Yoga for green life”, the performance was jointly held by the Vietnam-India Friendship Association in Da Nang, the Embassy of India in Vietnam, and the Baoviet Life Corporation.
It aims to encourage people to embrace a positive and healthy lifestyle by pursuing regular exercises to equilibrate mind and reduce stress.
Vo Van Thang, Chairman of the Vietnam-India Friendship Association in Da Nang, said the performance is an annual activity to promote yoga and its values to the community life.
It also helped strengthen solidarity, friendship and mutual understanding between Vietnamese and Indian people, he added.
In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 21 as the International Yoga Day.
