Yoga Divas

International Day of Yoga is celebrated annually on 21 June since its inception in 2015. International day for yoga was declared unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on 11 December 2014. Yoga is a physical, mental, and/or spiritual practice attributed mostly to India. The idea of an International Day of Yoga was the first proposed by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi during his speech at the UNGA, on 27 September 2014.
"Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well being. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day."
