Happy International Yoga Day!
On June 21, 2014, International Yoga Day was officially recognised by the UN General Assembly, following an initiative led by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi who stated, “Yoga is an invaluable gift from our ancient tradition. Yoga embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action … a holistic approach [that] is valuable to our health and our well-being. Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and nature.”
FUN FACT - The inaugural International Yoga Day, celebrated in India on June 21, 2015, in New Delhi, set two Guinness World Records: the largest yoga class with 35,985 attendees (yes one class with 35,985 attendees !!!!) and the most nationalities represented, 84 in total, in a single yoga class.
Namaste Manju and Sian
