“Yoga : India’s gift to the World”
Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. Deriving from Sanskrit, the word Yoga means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and consciousness.
The resolution on International Day of Yoga adopted by the United Nations Global Assembly under the agenda of Global Health and Foreign Policy recognised that Yoga provides a holistic approach to health and well being and that wider dissemination of information about its benefits would be beneficial for the health of the world population.
For the past 5 years, the International Day of Yoga is celebrated annually on 21st of June, to raise global awareness about the benefits of this ancient Indian practice and the UN has acknowledged that Yoga continues to grow in popularly across the world. The theme for International Yoga Day 2019 is “Climate Action”.
