When is
Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. The word ‘yoga’ is derived from Sanskrit and means to join or join, symbolizing the union of body and consciousness.
Today it is practiced around the world in various forms and is steadily increasing in popularity.
Recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga by resolution 69/131.
International Yoga Day aims to raise awareness around the world about the many benefits of practicing yoga.
The draft proposal for the establishment of International Day of Yoga was proposed by India and supported by a record 175 member states. The proposal was first introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address at the inauguration of the 69th session of the General Assembly, in which he said: “Yoga is an invaluable gift from our ancient tradition. Yoga embodies the unity of mind and body, thought and action… a holistic approach [which] is valuable to our health and our well-being. Yoga is not just about exercise; It is a way of discovering a sense of oneness with oneself, with the world and with nature.”
