Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano has reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to positioning itself as a premier destination for wellness tourism, citing yoga as a powerful cultural and health bridge.
Speaking during the 11th International Day of Yoga celebrations at the Sikh Union Club in Nairobi, Miano highlighted how yoga aligns with Kenya’s broader development goals of universal healthcare, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation.
The event with themed “Yoga for One Earth, One Health underscored yoga’s transformative potential for personal wellbeing and planetary health.
Miano reflected on the symbolic significance of the day, which coincides with the summer solstice, a time traditionally associated with renewal and spiritual awakening.
“Yoga teaches us to live consciously — in how we move, eat, and relate to one another and the Earth,” Miano said. “It offers a holistic, accessible, and cost-effective path to healing and resilience.”
Miano at the same time highlighted Kenya’s ambition to become a hub for wellness tourism, drawing on its natural beauty and cultural richness to attract visitors seeking holistic experiences.
“We must go beyond the mat,” she said. “When we care for ourselves, we care for the Earth.”
Under her leadership, the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife is embracing yoga as part of Kenya’s experiential and sustainable tourism strategy.
“Our scenic landscapes, peaceful beaches, serene highlands, and rich cultural heritage make Kenya an ideal destination for yoga retreats and wellness experiences,” Miano stated.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
