In a moment of pride for India and the global yoga community, Smita Kumari, Yoga Instructor at the Adani Group, has etched her name into the Guinness World Records once again — this time for achieving the “Longest Yoga Marathon by an Individual (Female)”, clocking an extraordinary 103 hours of continuous yoga practice.
Known for her discipline, strength, and spiritual approach to wellness, Smita Kumari performed a series of asanas, pranayama, and meditation techniques non-stop over five days under the supervision of certified judges and medical professionals. The event was held at the Adani Shantigram Campus in Ahmedabad, drawing massive attention from fitness enthusiasts, corporate wellness advocates, and yoga lovers across the globe.
This is not Smita’s first world record. She previously set records for “Most Yoga Poses Performed in One Hour” and “Longest Headstand by a Woman,” making her a celebrated figure in both Indian and international yoga circles.
Speaking after the announcement, Smita said, “Yoga is not just a practice; it’s a way of life. This record is dedicated to every woman who dares to push her limits and live with purpose.”
The Adani Group has lauded her achievement, highlighting it as a reflection of the company’s strong emphasis on holistic employee wellness and the promotion of Indian cultural values on the world stage.
Congratulatory messages poured in from dignitaries, wellness gurus, and yoga institutions, many calling her a “modern yogini with the spirit of ancient wisdom.” Plans are already underway to honor her with a special felicitation ceremony at the International Yoga Day celebrations in June.
Smita Kumari’s journey is a shining example of what passion, perseverance, and purpose can achieve — bending not just the body, but the boundaries of human potential.
