Early on in a conversation, author and yoga practitioner Ira Trivedi makes it clear that the first-of-its-kind virtual Being Yoga Festival is not just about yoga. "I would say, it is more about being yoga (sic) than doing yoga," she says. It is also what explains the diverse line-up the festival has in store.

The first day of the two-day festival acts as a preview and introduces participants to what's in store through a yoga session with influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, better known as Beer Biceps, and Trivedi. This will be followed by a talk by Rajeev Malhotra on the Vedic point of view on pandemics. You can then join Deva Premal and Miten for some live chanting.
