Thousand of people across the globe observed the 11th International Yoga Day yesterday, with a powerful message of enhancing physical and mental well being.
This years’ celebration was themed “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”, aligning yoga with sustainability and global well-being, and reflecting belief that inner peace and self care are fundamental for a healthy well-being.
Yoga Day is celebrated on June 21 because it coincides with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, symbolising light and balance, and is traditionally associated with spiritual significance in many cultures.
