As part of the final Easter celebration for Obama administration, professional yoga instructors will have sessions with thousands of Americans who are expected to swarm the sprawling White House lawns in Washington on Monday.

A “Yoga Garden” is one of the 10 different zones that have been set up for the event for which around 35,000 tickets have been issued.

On Friday, the White House announced the full program, activities, and talent line-up for the 2016 White House Easter Egg Roll.

Easter Egg Roll is the largest annual public event at the White House, which has been a tradition for 138 years.

In honor of the final Easter Egg Roll of the Obama administration, the theme for this year’s event is “Let’s Celebrate.”

The event will feature live music, sports courts, cooking stations, storytelling and of course, the Easter egg rolling.

The special guest for the event is Tony Award winner and multi-platinum recording artist, Idina Menzel who will sing the American national anthem as well as perform on the Rock ‘n’ Egg Roll Stage.

In support of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative, the event will also feature the first-ever White House fun run, where the US first lady will join 250 children on a short run to promote active and healthy lifestyles for kids.

The President’s council on fitness sports & nutrition as well as players and coaches from professional sports teams will also teach kids how to play sports.
