Led by instructor Joseph Michael Levry in the Plaza de la Constitucion - otherwise known as Zocalo Square - an unheard-of 12,000 yoga enthusiasts practiced holistic exercises all at once on the afternoon of November 13.
California yoga studios can be pretty crowded these days. After all, the mind-body regimen is both healing and relaxing, so it's little wonder that a popular yoga class may play host to dozens of students at once. But that's nothing compared to a yoga convocation recently held in Mexico City.
Led by instructor Joseph Michael Levry in the Plaza de la Constitucion – otherwise known as Zocalo Square – an unheard-of 12,000 yoga enthusiasts practiced holistic exercises all at once on the afternoon of November 13.
Though it is not yet official, this massive yoga gathering could soon be listed as the world's largest yoga class. Currently, the biggest yoga class on record was a 10,000-person gathering led by instructor Elena Brower in New York City's Central Park, according to the Guinness World Records Association.
Rebecca Torres, one of the organizers of the latest event, said that "this truly was an explosion of joy and happiness in Mexico City, and many of us were touched and transformed."
Though the 12,000 people gathered to experience yoga breathing benefits just four days before the annual Guinness World Records Day, the two events do not appear to have been related.
