International Yoga Day, also known as International Day of Yoga, is a day to celebrate the Indian practice of yoga and to raise awareness about its importance. This day is celebrated since 2014 and has been recognized by the UN General Assembly as an International Day of Recognition.

Importance of International Yoga Day

The idea of an international day to recognize and respect the practice of yoga was first made on 27th September 2014 by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi at the UN General Assembly. It was he who proposed the date of this day as it falls in the Summer Solstice of the Northern Hemisphere. This day marks the beginning of the summer season and is also the longest day of the year. Afterwards on 11th December 2014, the United Nations declared 21st June as International Yoga Day. The proposal was approved by 175 member states. Yoga Day highlights the importance of Yoga and the benefits it has on our mind and soul. If practiced often, yoga can boost up your energy level, help you maintain a healthy weight and improve your body posture. Participating in Yoga activities and meditation can help in enhancing your mental health.

International Yoga Day 2022: Theme

The theme for International Yoga Day in 2022 is ‘Yoga for Humanity’, which is intended at bringing to light the physical, mental, and emotional state of people. The theme was selected with the aim to inspire the yoga community for global development. The theme for this year was announced by PM Narendra Modi on 30th May during the show ‘Mann Ki Baat’. This year the theme has been decided to keep in mind the important role that yoga has been playing in dealing with COVID-19. Involving yourself in Yoga not only benefits the mind and body but also instils love and compassion towards one another. On the occasion of International Yoga Day, India will organize special programs for students, women, specially-abled as well as transgenders to spread awareness and involve more & more people in Yoga and Meditation.
