Mass yoga session in Paris...

Around 2,000 people took part in France's biggest ever yoga session over the weekend.

They stretched together under sunny Paris skies with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop.

The session was held to mark the UN International Day of Non-Violence which falls on October 2, the birthday of the Indian independence and civil rights leader Mahatma Gandhi.

Gandhi practised non-violent resistance to achieve his political ends.

"Everybody is excited, everybody is really here in honour of Mahatma Gandhi's birthday, it's the day of non-violence," said Elena Brower, a yoga teacher from New York who led the session. Source...
