Empowering Women Through Yoga
This year’s theme emphasizes yoga’s contribution to women’s physical, mental, emotional, and social development. The celebration will focus on how yoga can transform and empower women, promoting their well-being.
The Origins and Growth of International Yoga Day
International Yoga Day was established in 2014 after a proposal was accepted by the United Nations General Assembly. It has been observed annually on June 21st since then, each year with a different theme. This year marks the tenth celebration of this global event.
Yoga is renowned for its dual benefits: improving physical health and enhancing mental strength. In today’s fast-paced world, where stress is rampant and time for self-care is limited, dedicating just 30 to 45 minutes to yoga can significantly improve both physical and mental health. Recognizing its importance, the global community has widely adopted yoga.
Celebrating a Decade of International Yoga Day
As International Yoga Day marks its tenth year, the focus remains on promoting yoga for health, spiritual growth, and global peace. This year, with a special emphasis on women’s empowerment, the day will celebrate the progress and potential of women through the practice of yoga.
