Yoga Day

Human beings are made up of three components which are the intellect, body, and soul. Essentially, in order to fulfill the requirements of these three, we require information, wellbeing, and inward peace respectively. As we know, wellbeing may be a physical requirement while information is a mental requirement of our own. When we have a conversation around internal peace, we see it alludes to the otherworldly requirement and we feel delighted as it were when all three are present. Yoga is something that nourishes our soul. It may be an otherworldly practice that diminishes us of numerous sicknesses physically.

A very happy yoga day to everyone. This day was internationally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on December 11, 2014. The idea of an international yoga day was proposed by our Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi on September 27, 2014.

 On that day, a record number of people practiced Yoga in Delhi under the leadership of Mr. Narendra Modi. It was a world record for the highest participation in one single yoga session. This is a great achievement for all of us. More than 170 countries including the USA, China, Canada participated in the event. It was celebrated on an international level by organizing the activities like yoga training campus, yoga competitions and so many activities to enhance the awareness about yoga benefits. It was celebrated to let you know that regular yoga practice leads to better mental, physical and intellectual health. It positively changes your lifestyle and increases your level of well-being.

According to the UN website, the theme for International Yoga Day 2021 is ‘Yoga for well-being’, i.e. how the practice of Yoga can promote the holistic health of every individual. With the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating psychological suffering and mental health problems, many people have been embracing Yoga to stay healthy and to fight isolation and depression.
