Thousands mark summer solstice with yoga in New York's Times Square

Organisers said 14,000 people registered for the yoga event, called 'Mind Over Madness' which marks the the summer solstice and the longest day of the year.

Co-founder of Solstice in Times Square, Douglass Stewart, said the city centre venue is the ideal location to challenge individuals to still their thoughts.

"It's an intersection of all places, you know... Lots of people are here and broadway shows are here.

"Different kinds of people with different agendas, all meeting at this place and the busiest place.

"And so we decided and thought that this would be the perfect place to test that theory", said Mr Stewart

This is the tenth year that yoga practitioners have laid down their mats in Times Square and settled into a renewed New York state of mind.
