In celebration of International Yoga Day 2026, Emmy-nominated filmmaker and Happy Life Yoga Founder Tirlok Malik will host International Happy Life Yoga, a worldwide virtual wellness event on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM EST on Zoom.
The event is presented in association with GOPIO, the Consulate General of India in New York, The Indian Panorama, and the Indian American Forum, bringing together community leaders, wellness voices, cultural ambassadors, media partners, and distinguished guests for an uplifting session centered on breath, laughter, light chair-based yoga, and simple reminders for a happier and healthier life.
Unlike traditional yoga sessions that may require mats, physical postures, or prior experience, Happy Life Yoga is designed to be accessible to all. Participants can join while seated in a chair and experience the power of conscious breathing, laughter, gentle movement, positive thinking, and practical wellness insights.
Hosted by Tirlok Malik, Happy Life Yoga has been shared widely across New York and beyond through workshops at major hospitals, community centers, corporate offices, government offices, senior centers, and online platforms. Mr. Malik has relentlessly continued this work with the belief that happiness, breath, and laughter are not luxuries but essential tools for everyday wellbeing.
The program will be graced by Chief Guest Shri Binaya Srikanta Pradhan, Consul General of India in New York. Special leadership presence includes Thomas Abraham, GOPIO Chairman, and Prakash Shah, GOPIO President.
The event will also feature an inspiring lineup of guest speakers and VIP participants, including Prof. Indrajit Saluja, Publisher of The Indian Panorama; Indu Jaiswal, Director of Nutrition, Promenade RHC; Meera Gandhi, Philanthropist; Beena Kothari, President, AIA; Rev. Paul Sladkus, Founder of Good News Corporation; Neha Lohia, Conscious Filmmaker; Anil Narang, Vegan Ambassador; Tara Sajan, Assistant Director of Nursing; Annmarie Bhola, Engineer and Author; Carolina Pretto, Ayurveda Expert; Megi Kurdadze, President of Powerful Management & Tech Center; and Victoria Moran, Author and Podcast Host.
At a time when stress, loneliness, anxiety, and mental health challenges are rising globally, the wisdom of breath, laughter, and mindful living has become more relevant than ever. Ayurveda and India’s ancient wellness traditions have long understood that the mind, body, breath, digestion, emotions, and daily habits are deeply connected. Laughter, in particular, supports emotional release, lightens the nervous system, creates connection, and reminds us that joy itself can be a form of healing.
International Happy Life Yoga 2026 will offer participants a warm, entertaining, and deeply human experience that blends India’s wellness heritage with practical tools for modern life.
