Over 1,000 Chinese yogis gathered for a group yoga performance in the southwestern city of Kunming on Wednesday to open the China-India Yoga Conference.

Lasting from May 18 to 22, the conference will feature activities including courses from Indian yoga masters and yoga introductions for communities.

It is sponsored by the municipal government and jointly organized by the foreign affairs and overseas Chinese affairs offices under the municipal government and the China-India Yoga College in Kunming.

The latter, based in Yunnan Minzu (Nationalities) University, opened in November as China's first dedicated yoga college.

College head Fang Zhen said yoga's similarity to Chinese tai chi helps explain its growing popularity in China.
