Did you know that the International Day of Yoga is celebrated annually on June 21st?

Here are some fun yoga facts about the annual celebration:

International Day of Yoga has been celebrated since 2015
It is celebrated on the 21st of June because this is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This unifies people from different countries and means celebrations can last longer!
It was first proposed by Narendra Modi, current Prime Minister of India, during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in 2014
Practitioners all over the world come together to engage in flow as one
While the International Day of Yoga is a great time to fully indulge in the practice of yoga, we'd encourage you to get involved at least once a week, too.

The Headstand is the Most Dangerous Pose

There are some interesting facts about yoga, and its various poses, that will not only broaden your knowledge but help to protect you too.

For example, the headstand pose is considered to be both the toughest yoga pose to perform as well as the most dangerous. But why is this?

When in the headstand position, one’s entire body weight is put onto the neck which increases the risk of injury.

For those considering practising the headstand position, it’s encouraged to begin against a wall before practising without support.

That way, you become familiar with the position and feeling in the muscles so it feels familiar once you do a headstand independently.

A lot of people think they have to be a certain age to practice yoga. However, yoga is increasingly popular with kids as well as seniors!

Hopefully we’ve already shown you that there’s a part of yoga for everyone. No matter your ability, your age, or your particular style, the facts about yoga and its health benefits remain true.

There’s even specific kinds of practice designed for different demographics and groups!

For example, did you know about baby yoga? This is a form of very slow, light yoga designed to help a baby’s flexibility, strength, and help parent/child bonding!

As we’ve already seen from other interesting facts about yoga and health, it’s also perfect for seniors.

Helping with arthritis and posture issues, as well as helping to slow down the ageing process, proves just how important it can be for older practitioners!

Yoga Can Help Alleviate Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety

One of the most important yoga facts is how it can help to boost your mental health. We’ve already touched on how it can help reduce stress but it can also help with depression too.

As we’ve already mentioned, any form of physical activity is good for brain function. This is because endorphins are released, giving you that “runners high” you might be familiar with.

In fact, there’s even research from the British Journal of Sports Medicine on yoga and mood disorders.

Not only was there a connection between yoga and alleviated symptoms, but the more frequent the practice, the better the effects!

Mindful breathing and meditation, an integral part of yoga practice, is increasingly used to tackle oncoming panic attacks.

There’s specific scientific research into the effects of breath-counting meditation on people with anxiety disorders.

Not only is this one of the most important facts about yoga and health, but also may be the best one to share with other people!

One of the unique benefits of power yoga is that it can also help to increase your stamina. This means it’s a great supplementary style for people doing other workouts and runners.

As we’ve already mentioned, these styles are better for more experienced yogis. Start with Hatha or Restorative yoga if you’re new to practice, and work your way up to these more difficult and strenuous styles.

So, as well as discovering a range of yoga history facts, you’ve also got facts about yoga and health, and the vital connection between them.
