21st of June – International Yoga Day

On June 21, the world celebrates International Yoga Day, established by UN General Assembly Resolution in 2014, to raise global awareness of the benefits of yoga and adapt it in a lifestyle.

For the first time, the holiday was celebrated in June 2015. And this is no coincidence. India is the birthplace of yoga, where this teaching has been cultivated since ancient times. The choice of 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 significance for many peoples and is known as the day of the summer solstice.

Such unanimous support for the establishment of the holiday is due to the recognition of the benefits that the teaching of yoga brings and cultivates for physical and psychological health, which plays an important role in the modern world with growing stresses on the psycho-emotional nature of man.

Yoga is an ancient physical, mental, and spiritual practice and the word "yoga" comes from Sanskrit and means "connection", symbolizing the connection of the body and consciousness.

For a long time, the attitude of people in different countries to the ancient Indian teaching, as a special form of world perception and self-improvement, made it popular. For some, yoga is a way to relax after physical and emotional stress at work or in business, for others, it is possible to bring the body to a normal state, or to improve it. And someone, thanks to yoga, begins to perceive the world around him differently and relate to the realities of life in a new way.

Each person, seriously approaching the practice of yoga, finds for himself what he needs. Moreover, today there are several areas of yoga. Achieving inner 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 associated with Buddhism, where also the main goal is comprehensive harmony. Interest in the ancient Indian school in Europe and America arose in the 19th century, and the popularity of this teaching fell already in the 20th century. Today, the number of devotees of yoga continues to grow worldwide. Russia does not stand aside, where the popularity of yoga is growing every year.

The annual celebration of International Yoga Day was another date when adherents of this teaching can gather, exchange experiences, conduct joint classes, and masterclasses. Such events, which are held every year under a specific motto, are open in nature and are held in parks and squares, attracting the attention of people.
