Kyiv (Ukraine) – Amidst the ongoing turmoil and constant shelling from Russian artillery, many Ukrainians are seeking refuge in the practices of Hindu Dharma, namely yoga and meditation. In the major cities of the country, a growing number of individuals are coming together every morning to engage in yoga sessions. One such yoga center is located in the city of Kramatorsk, Donetsk region. For 3 days a week, people gather in a basement here and practice meditation and yoga, accompanied by calming Sattvik music.
In this regard, Serhii Zaloznyi, a 52-year-old yoga instructor, pointed out that the external world for these people is characterised by turbulence, with their minds frequently disturbed by the recurring bomb explosions.
