Derzhavin University became one of the organizers of the first festival of healthy lifestyle, beauty and self-development "Yoga Day in Tambov" which took place on the territory of the ancient park of the Aseev estate.
International Yoga Day was held with the support of the Government of the Tambov Region and the Embassy of India in Russia.
The event brought together lovers of spiritual practices, healthy lifestyle and Indian culture. Guests of the eco-festival took part in art master classes, open-air yoga classes and photo sessions.
100 foreign students studying at Derzhavin University took part in the cultural event.
Future specialists from different countries of the world became notable participants of the festival and made an important contribution to its implementation. Thus, volunteers of the international volunteer squad "Goodwin" actively helped with the organization of the event. They equipped the site, created thematic decorations and greeted the guests. Thanks to their participation, the atmosphere of the holiday became truly warm and welcoming.
Students from India attracted special attention. They presented one of the oldest national classical dances - Bharatnatyam, striking in its originality, expressiveness and spiritual depth. Throughout the festival, foreign students created mehndi paintings for everyone - traditional Indian patterns symbolizing happiness, harmony and good luck.
International Yoga Day became an excellent opportunity for cultural exchange, strengthening friendship and mutual understanding between peoples.
- Such initiatives once again prove that Derzhavin University students not only actively study, master educational programs, acquire professional skills and competencies, but also contribute to the cultural and social life of the city of Tambov, which in turn promotes intercultural integration,- noted the Festival organizers.
