International Day of Yoga, celebrated on June 21st, promotes the benefits of yoga for the body, mind, and spirit. Started by the United Nations in 2014, the day encourages people worldwide to join yoga sessions and learn how this ancient practice can improve health and well-being. Whether in parks, studios, or online, Yoga Day brings people together in a shared journey toward wellness.
Why June 21st?
June 21st is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Many cultures see it as a special time, symbolizing light, energy, and change. In yoga tradition, this day is considered very important. According to Indian mythology, it is believed that Lord Shiva started teaching yoga to the seven sages (Saptarishis) on this day, making it a meaningful time to celebrate and share yoga.
Yoga has been an important part of Indian culture and philosophy for centuries. Today, it has spread around the world and is practiced by millions of people. From athletes and students to workers and retirees, individuals of all ages and backgrounds turn to yoga for its powerful healing and transformative benefits.
Yoga brings the mind, body, and spirit together through physical poses, breathing, and meditation. This combined practice helps improve strength, balance, and flexibility, while also boosting focus and emotional strength. In today’s busy and stressful world, yoga is a helpful way to manage stress and find inner peace. Celebrating this occasion reminds us
how important yoga is for better health and a more balanced life for everyone.
