INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY

International Yoga Day 2024, celebrated on June 21, promotes the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga globally. Events include mass yoga sessions, workshops, and virtual activities, emphasizing holistic health and well-being through the practice of yoga.

The United Nations established International Yoga Day on December 11, 2014, following Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposal. First celebrated on June 21, 2015, it coincides with the summer solstice, symbolising light and health.

The Theme for Yoga 2024 is 'Yoga for Self and Society'.

Yoga transcends exercise, empowering body and mind. In today's fast-paced life, incorporating yoga daily is essential. Annually, the Ministry of AYUSH hosts a grand event at Rajpath, New Delhi, with global participation, attended by PM Modi.
