Prabhat Kumar, a yoga guru with the Indian-based international non-governmental organisation Art of Living, is in HCM City to sow the first seeds of its world-renowned exercises.

Kumar is holding a seminar in his first trip to Vietnam for both local and expatriates at Yoga Secrets’ Club at 42 Huynh Khuong Ninh Street in District 1 until February 7.

The purpose of the seminar, according to him, is to help participants relieve stress and renew energy, enhance positive thinking, improve human relationships and enhance happiness so people can face life’s challenges gracefully.

The seminar admits participants aged 18 and above who must pay 500,000 VND (27 USD) for a once-in-a-lifetime contribution, which entitles them to any seminars held by the organisation anywhere in the world. The money is donated to charity.

Kumar plans another seminar after Lunar New Year holidays, probably in the last week of February.

Kumar said that more than 100 million people worldwide have undergone the Art of Living workshops./.
