21st June was recognized as the International Day of Yoga (IDY) by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in December 2014 at the initiative of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.

An invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition, Yoga has emerged as one of the most trusted means to boost physical and mental well-being. The word “Yoga” is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj meaning “to join”, “to yoke” or “to unite”, symbolizing the unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between human and nature, and a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Consequence:-

Yoga has become globally popular, with millions practising it to improve their health and mental well-being. It includes physical exercises, breathing techniques, and meditation. Yoga can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while enhancing flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance.

This Year Theme:-

Each year, a specific theme guides the celebrations of International Yoga Day. For 2024, the theme is ‘Yoga for Self and Society.’

History:-

The practice of yoga originated in ancient India. However, it was only in September 2014 that Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested observing an International Day of Yoga during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Subsequently, on December 11, 2014 the UNGA declared June 21 as International Yoga Day.

Yoga can be a powerful tool to help people deal with stress & anxiety, while also improving overall physical well-being.
