The 2nd Edition of YOGA LYF – Health & Wellness Festival commenced on 20th December 2025 at the pristine and inspiring campus of the National Institute of Naturopathy (NIN), Pune, marking yet another milestone in India’s evolving wellness movement. Hosted over two immersive days, the event emerged as a confluence of Yoga, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Lifestyle, Art, Culture, and Conscious Living, reaffirming India’s leadership in holistic health. Set amidst the lush and serene surroundings of NIN–Nisarg Gram, the festival stood as a living example of how wellness can transcend treatment to become a way of life—deeply rooted in tradition, yet powerfully relevant to modern society. A Graceful Inauguration Rooted in Tradition The event was inaugurated with reverence and purpose by Mr. Nitin Patki and Mrs. Sandhya Patki, Founders of the New Age Yoga Institute. Mr. Patki, who also serves as the Secretary of the Indian Yoga Association (IYA), spoke eloquently about the expanding role of yoga across socio-economic strata and its relevance in everyday living—from children to seniors, corporates to communities.
