International Yoga Day 2025: Wellness embraced by unity and practice
Every year on June 21, the world unites to celebrate International yoga day – A worldwide recognition of the old Indian practice that harmonizes body, mind and mind. In 2025 the opportunity will have even more meaning as millions around the world turn to yoga, not only for physical fitness, but for mental clarity, emotional balance and inner peace in an ever -demandable world.
Theme of International Yoga Day 2025
The official theme for International Yogadag 2025 is “Yoga for yourself and society.” This theme emphasizes how individual well -being through yoga contributes directly to social harmony. As more people embrace yoga as a lifestyle, the ripple effects of mindfulness, compassion and health spread to communities in general.
The origin and global recognition
The idea of an international yoga day was proposed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his speech at the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2014. The proposal received overwhelming support and 21 June – the summer solstice and the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere – was chosen to mark the day. Since then, Yoga Day has been celebrated annually by people from more than 190 countries.
Why June 21?
June 21 is not only the longest day, but also spiritually important in yogic tradition. It marks the beginning of Hinayana – The southern journey of the sun – and is considered the time in which Lord Shiva, the first Yogi or Adiyogi, Yoga knowledge began to give his disciples, the SaptariHis.
