INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY

"Yoga is not a religion. It is a science. A science of well-being, a science of youthfulness, a science of integrating body, mind, and soul".

The International Day of Yoga has been celebrated annually on June 21 since 2015. Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that originated in India. The practice of Yoga brings joy, health, and peace from within and deepens a sense of connection between an individual's inner consciousness and the external world.

The essence of yoga is balance - not just balance within the body or that between the mind and the body, but also balance in the human relationship with the world. Yoga emphasizes the values of mindfulness, moderation, discipline, and perseverance. When applied to communities and societies, Yoga offers a path to sustainable living. Yoga can be an important instrument in the collective quest of humanity for promoting a sustainable lifestyle in harmony.

In keeping with this spirit, the theme for this year’s Yoga Day celebrations is “Yoga for Humanity.”The International Day of Yoga aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga.
