International Yoga Day, celebrated every year on June 21st, is an occasion that brings together people from around the world to honor and promote the ancient practice of yoga. The day was established by the United Nations in 2014 following a proposal by India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who emphasized the importance of yoga in achieving a balanced and healthy lifestyle. International Yoga Day serves to raise awareness about the countless benefits yoga offers, not only for physical health but also for mental and spiritual well-being.

Yoga, which has been practiced for thousands of years, originated in ancient India and encompasses a wide variety of practices designed to promote balance, strength, and flexibility. Through physical postures, breath control, meditation, and mindfulness, yoga creates harmony between the body, mind, and spirit, improving overall health and well-being. The International Yoga Day initiative encourages people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures to engage in yoga practice, making it accessible and beneficial to a global audience
