The Akshar Yoga Kendraa in Bengaluru celebrated International Yoga Day on June 21, 2026 with 21 Guinness World Records in yogasanas. Bollywood actor Rakul Preet Singh was among the high-profile names who supported the organisation and sent a message of encouragement.
The Akshar Yoga Kendraa, based in Bengaluru celebrated International Yoga Day which celebrated 'Yoga for Healthy Ageing' by achieving an unprecedented 21 Guinness World Records in just a single day.
