New York : Thousands greet solstice with yoga

Thousands of New Yorkers celebrated the first day of summer by practicing yoga right smack in the middle of Times Square.

It was the 12th annual “Solstice in Times Square.”

The free event was held at Broadway and 7th avenue between 42nd and 44th streets.

“It’s the longest day of the year. In the yoga tradition, this is the day you worship the sun,” said Christina Cielusniak, 25, a yoga instructor from Wayne, New Jersey.

Tim Tompkins, president of the Times Square Alliance, said the event was a challenge.

“No place is more difficult to concentrate than Times Square!” he was quoted as saying by New York Daily News.

Times Square is a major commercial intersection and a neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is one of the world’s busiest pedestrian intersections and a major center of the world’s entertainment industry.
