Chandigarh: In a groundbreaking global celebration of International Yoga Day, Habuild, India’s pioneering habit-building platform, has set a remarkable new world record for the “highest attendance in an online yoga class globally.” The historic event saw a staggering 750,074 participants from 169 countries come together virtually on the morning of June 21 to participate in a synchronized, guided yoga session led by Saurabh Bothra, Co-founder of Habuild and a certified yoga trainer.
The event, officiated by Official World Record (OWR), was streamed live from Nagpur, making it one of the most far-reaching and inclusive yoga events ever conducted online. With participants logging in from every corner of the globe—from bustling cities to remote villages—the session marked a moment of unprecedented unity, discipline, and commitment to health and wellness.
This feat marks Habuild’s fifth world record to date, cementing its position as a leading voice in digital wellness and community-driven habit formation. The platform has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in the virtual wellness space, and its latest achievement is a shining testament to its mission.
A Journey of Records
Habuild’s ascent in the global wellness community has been marked by a series of high-impact milestones. In January 2024, the platform earned the Guinness World Record for the most viewers for a yoga live stream on YouTube, attracting 246,252 participants. This was followed by recognition from the World Records Union for:
-
Most live viewership in a single day for a yoga lesson – 599,162 viewers
-
Largest attendance in a virtual meditation class – 287,711 participants
Even earlier, in 2023, Habuild had been awarded another world record by the World Records Union for the largest attendance in a virtual yoga class, with 134,057 participants.
Each of these achievements builds upon the foundation of inclusivity, accessibility, and consistency that Habuild promotes through its digital-first approach to health and wellness.
The #HarGharYoga Campaign: A Community Movement
The record-breaking session was the culmination of Habuild’s widely successful 21-day #HarGharYoga initiative, which aimed to instill the daily habit of movement and mindfulness among participants. The campaign offered free, guided yoga sessions accessible to all, regardless of age, physical condition, or prior experience with yoga.
The initiative received overwhelming support, transforming from a campaign into a global wellness movement. Participants from all walks of life, including working professionals, homemakers, senior citizens, and students, embraced the philosophy of starting the day with yoga. Over the 21 days, the initiative fostered a strong sense of digital community and cross-border connection that ultimately led to the record-breaking turnout.
Global Participation, Local Roots
What made this event particularly special was its truly global reach combined with strong Indian roots. Despite being organized from India, the birthplace of yoga, the event attracted massive international attention. Participants joined in from across continents—North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia—underscoring yoga’s universal appeal and Habuild’s ability to engage diverse audiences.
The guided session, which lasted 45 minutes, was led in simple, easy-to-follow steps by Saurabh Bothra and his team. It included a balanced combination of asanas (yoga postures), pranayama (breath control), and brief mindfulness practices, aimed at benefiting both body and mind.
Leadership Speak
Reflecting on the achievement, Saurabh Bothra, Co-founder of Habuild and a driving force behind the initiative, shared:
“This record is a testament to the power of collective intent. When people across the world commit to building one small habit—like showing up for themselves through yoga—the ripple effect is transformational. We’re deeply grateful to every participant who believed in this mission and made #HarGharYoga a global movement.”
Bothra emphasized that the goal was never just about setting records but about fostering lasting change in people’s lives. “Our mission is to make healthy habits simple and sustainable. Yoga, as a habit, not only improves physical health but also enhances emotional balance and mental clarity,” he added.
The Bigger Picture: Yoga as a Way of Life
The success of this event also shines a spotlight on the evolving role of technology in wellness. Habuild has demonstrated that virtual platforms, when used effectively, can scale positive behavioral change and bring people together in pursuit of better living.
More than just a number, the 750,074 participants represent a growing global consciousness about the importance of preventive health, mindfulness, and self-care. The event was not merely about performing yoga—it was about starting a journey towards a more balanced lifestyle.
What’s Next?
Buoyed by its latest world record, Habuild plans to expand its offerings with more interactive sessions, multilingual content, and specialized habit-forming programs tailored for different age groups and professions. The platform envisions a future where building good habits becomes not just a personal goal, but a global movement—accessible, inclusive, and sustainable.
With five world records under its belt and a thriving global community, Habuild has proven that when purpose meets technology, the results can be extraordinary. As the world celebrated International Yoga Day, Habuild turned the spotlight on the collective power of mindful living—and the ripple effects are only just beginning.
