Many organizations like Veda Circle, Art Of Living, ISKCON, VYASA-LA, Isha Foundation, Hindu Swayam Sevak Sangh, Saarathi Yoga, Gayatri Chetna Center, Long Beach School of Yoga took part.The program commenced with chanting of Vedic mantras by the Veda Circle group followed by mediation technique recitation and practice conducted by Long Beach School of Yoga. Art Of Living conducted meditation and taught the art of keeping the mind and body relaxed and peaceful. Saarathi Yoga taught audience the sun salutation. Isha Foundation offered a practice called yoga namaskar. ISKCON performed kirtan  which helped  to induce states of meditation and bliss. In the final yoga practice by Vyasa LA, the audience were taught to reconnect to the natural state of love and joy.
Dr. Nagendra, Padmashri and   shared some insight into the inner workings of the first International Day of Yoga Committee. His focal message was that in order to solve the multidimensional human problems, health or otherwise, a uni-dimensional approach that deals with physicality alone will not do. All the five layers of human personality contribute to a state of health and they need to be acknowledged and addressed. The physical, pranic, emotional, intellectual and capacity-for-bliss states, should all be harnessed for positive health to bring about recovery and  recuperation. 
Swami Sarvapriyananda reminded the audience that we must thank Swami Vivekananda for his first bold foray into bringing yoga to the western world in 1893.  He reiterated that the Swami at that time talked of the choice of paths we had to yoga or union with one’s divine nature - through action (Karma Yoga), love (Bhakthi Yoga), knowledge (Jnana Yoga) or meditation (Dhyana or Raja Yoga).

It's amusing to me that while yoga is becoming increasing popular, even mainstream, the perception of it as a serene practice of stretching and chanting "Om" persists. Sure there is a level of spirituality to yoga, and parts of the practice are very relaxing, but it can also be hard work. Yoga exercise is real exercise.
