The International Day of Yoga, celebrated globally on June 21 each year, was established by the United Nations in 2014 to honor and recognize the practice of Yoga.

• This worldwide movement recognises the ancient Indian art of yoga and its significant effects on our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, cutting across cultural and geographic barriers.
• Millions of people come together for yoga classes, workshops, and talks in peaceful mountain retreats and busy city squares throughout the world, all driven by the desire for holistic health and peaceful thoughts.
• The 2024 International Yoga Day will be the 10th anniversary of the event.
• This year, the theme is "Yoga for Self and Society," emphasising yoga's role in fostering individual well-being and societal harmony.
