Empowering Women: The Focus of This Year’s Celebration
This year’s International Yoga Day theme, ‘Yoga for Women Empowerment’, underscores its role in enhancing women’s overall well-being and contributing significantly to their transformation. The day will celebrate advancements in women’s physical, mental, emotional, and social development.
The Origin and Evolution of International Yoga Day
International Yoga Day was established in 2014 following its proposal and acceptance by the United Nations General Assembly. Since then, it has been observed annually on June 21st worldwide, featuring a distinct theme each year. This year marks the celebration of the tenth International Yoga Day.
While all forms of exercise offer physical and mental benefits, yoga stands out for its dual advantages: enhancing physical health and cultivating exceptional mental strength. Yoga provides numerous benefits, with stress management being particularly noteworthy.
In the present day, amidst the fast-paced life where time for health is often scarce and stress levels are high, individuals are susceptible to various illnesses. In this scenario, dedicating just half an hour to 45 minutes to yoga can promote both physical and mental well-being. Recognizing its significance, the global community has embraced yoga as a crucial practice.
International Yoga Day is annually celebrated on June 21st following its recognition by the UN. This year marks the tenth edition of this global event, which aims to promote yoga for health, spiritual growth, and fostering global peace.
