It is sponsored by the municipal government and jointly organized by the foreign affairs and overseas Chinese affairs offices under the municipal government and the China-India Yoga College in Kunming.
Yoga has been gaining popularity in China in recent years. The China-India Yoga College, the country's first yoga college, opened last November and has gathered together over 4,000 participants for free yoga sessions.
