International Yoga Day 2025 |
This special day was first proposed by India in 2014 and quickly gained support from the United Nations. June 21st, the longest day of the year, was chosen to symbolize energy, renewal, and inner light.
Why Yoga?
Yoga is much more than stretching or poses. It’s a powerful way to improve flexibility, manage stress, and bring balance to both body and mind. Whether you're meditating, breathing deeply, or doing physical postures, yoga can help you feel more grounded and present in your daily life.
Theme for 2025: “Yoga for Self and Society”
This year’s theme highlights how taking care of ourselves through yoga can also make us more thoughtful, kind, and connected to others. A peaceful mind leads to more peaceful communities.
