Mass yoga execise to break the national record in Indonesia

JAKARTA, INDONESIA - May 17: Participants join a yoga session during a mass yoga exercise in Jakarta, Indonesia, on May 17, 2015. More than thousands peoples take part a yoga session on the same time as two other cities Bali and Yogyakarta which managed to break the national record. In 2009, the country's top Islamic body in Indonesia are banned from practicing yoga that contains Hindu rituals like chanting, echoing concerns by some religious groups elsewhere about its effect on their faith. The decision in the world's most populous Muslim state follows similar edicts in Malaysia and Egypt as the ancient Indian exercise gained popularity worldwide in recent years.
