21th of June – International Yoga Day

The International Yoga Day, established by UN General Assembly Resolution 69/131 in 2014, is celebrated worldwide on June 21 in order to raise the world's awareness of the benefits of yoga and adapt it in a way of life.
The holiday was first celebrated in June 2015, and the initiative of the institution and the choice of the date of the Day belong to the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. And this is not by chance. India is the birthplace of yoga, where this teaching has been cultivated since ancient times. The choice of the date fell on the longest day of the year for half the globe. This date, associated with the activity of the Sun, has a certain meaning for many nations and is known as the day of the summer solstice.
Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice, and the word "yoga" comes from Sanskrit and means "connection" or "connection", symbolizing the connection of body and consciousness.
Each person, seriously approaching the practice of yoga, finds for himself what he needs. Moreover, today there are several areas of yoga. Achieving internal harmony, harmony with the outside world, improving the physical and mental forces of the body occurs through the practice of complex exercises.
Taking its roots in Hinduism, the practice of yoga is also associated with Buddhism, where also the main goal is comprehensive harmony. Interest in the Old Indian school in Europe and America arose in the 19th century, and the growth of the popularity of this teaching fell in the 20th century. And today the number of adherents of yoga continues to grow around the world. Russia also does not stand aside, where the popularity of yoga is growing every year. The annual celebration of the International Day of Yoga has become another date when the adherents of this doctrine can gather, share experiences, conduct joint classes and master classes. Such events, which take place every year under a certain motto, are open in nature and are held in parks and squares, attracting people's attention.

By proclaiming the International Day of Yoga, the UN stressed that the pursuit of harmony practiced by this Indian teaching helps to overcome stress, reduces aggression and fosters mutual respect. And this, in turn, helps the formation of the world around a person, and therefore within society.
