In the run-up to the “record-breaking” mass yoga demonstration planned on International Yoga Day here on June 21, enthusiasts in Mysuru will perform two yoga rehearsals on June 12 and 18.

Besides aiming to create a Guinness world record for the biggest yoga display (about 50,000 people) in a single venue, Mysuru, a yoga hub, is also aiming to set a new world record for the longest yoga chain.

Randeep said here on Saturday that preparations were being made to project the show as a world event and this year’s yoga day had been aimed showcasing Mysuru as the country’s ‘yoga capital’.
