The India-Taipei Association highlighted that yoga practices, including postures, breathing techniques, and meditation, can significantly enhance psychological resilience against aging. The association also noted the high interest among Taiwanese people in achieving balance in mind, body, and spirit, and in mindful living.

This yoga series is described as the largest and most cross-disciplinary event of its kind to date. It commenced in June and will tour six major cities across Taiwan: Taipei, New Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Taitung. The organizers hope to promote preventive medicine and public health trends through the universal language of the body, inviting individuals seeking harmony and those passionate about Indian culture to participate at the World Religions Museum.
