Maitre Yoga, a free sensory exhibition on well-being at UNESCO House

To mark the tenth anniversary of International Yoga Day, the Maison de l'UNESCO invites you to discover a playful exhibition on this age-old practice, from June 15 to 21, 2024. This free experience is led by Maitre Yoga, who guides you through the art and history of yoga, through contemplative moments and practical exercises, in three distinct spaces: life in movement, yoga potential and inner ecology.

To begin with, like a bridge between the outside and the inside, a mosaic of yoga mats undulates and guides visitors through the exhibition, who evolve at their own pace, in a sensory space with sound immersion linked to yogic breathing. Then you'll have the chance to learn all about yoga, a Sanskrit word meaning "to be one with oneself", and a discipline that has evolved over almost 5,000 years, in the midst of works of art.

The image of the yogi has changed, from the ascetic of days gone by, to the modern man and woman who take a session after work to unwind and regenerate. Visitors can also try out a range of practices alongside our teachers, to understand the benefits of yoga and experiment with a combination of personal development and spiritual practice.
