Every year on June 21, the world comes together to celebrate the International Day of Yoga, a global movement that transcends borders, languages, and cultures. Declared by the United Nations in 2014, this day underscores yoga's timeless relevance as a pathway to holistic health, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being.
The 2025 theme emphasizes how individual well-being contributes to a healthier, more harmonious society. Yoga is not just about poses—it's about inner balance, self-awareness, and living mindfully in a fast-paced world.
Yoga originated in ancient India more than 5,000 years ago. Rooted in the Sanskrit word “Yuj”, meaning to unite, yoga connects the body, mind, and spirit. Today, millions practice yoga globally not just for fitness, but for stress relief, emotional regulation, and spiritual growth.
