Similarly, Isha Foundation, a nonprofit organization, conducted "pre-yoga" sessions at the Annapurna Hotel at Durbar Marg on the same day. Each of the three sessions held during the day saw enthusiastic participation of more than a hundred individuals of all age groups and different backgrounds. Mandana Mishra, a co-teacher said, "Yoga in its strictest form involves a long term commitment. But the 90 minute sessions being conducted here by facilitators flown in from the ashram at Tamilnadu, India aims to teach the participants just the basic forms of Yoga they could practice daily without heavier spiritual investment demanded by its strictest form." And in keeping up with the enthusiasm shown by the more than a thousand participants that turned up in their different events conducted since June 7 at places like British Council and Norvic Hospital to mark the first ever observance of the International Day of Yoga, Isha Foundation plans to mobilize its volunteers to continue conducting such Yoga sessions every three months.
