Today, on June 21st, the world unites to celebrate the 10th International Day of Yoga! This special day, established by the United Nations in 2014, recognizes the immense benefits of this ancient Indian practice for physical and mental well-being.

The Origins of a Global Phenomenon

The idea for International Yoga Day came from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In his 2014 address to the UN, he proposed June 21st as the ideal date. This day, the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, holds special significance in many cultures. The UN quickly embraced the proposal, recognizing yoga’s universal appeal.

Yoga: A Unifying Force

The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj,” meaning “to join” or “to unite.” It embodies the philosophy of bringing together the mind, body, and spirit. Yoga encompasses physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation, and ethical principles. This holistic approach has resonated with millions worldwide, making yoga one of the fastest-growing wellness practices.

Theme for 2024: Yoga for Self and Society

This year’s theme, “Yoga for Self and Society,” underscores the transformative power of yoga on both individual and collective levels. Yoga equips us with tools to manage stress, improve flexibility and strength, and cultivate inner peace. These benefits extend outward, fostering a sense of connection and well-being within communities.
