The INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY has been celebrated every year on 21 June, a summer solstice, to raise global awareness about the benefits of the ancient Indian practice. Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice. The idea of International yoga day was first proposed by the Prime minister of India Narendra Modi. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as International Yoga Day by resolution 69/131. 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 a sense of oneness with yourself, the world, and nature. Changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, can help in well-being.
