International Yoga Day is celebrated annually on June 21.

To emphasise the importance of yoga, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a resolution before the United Nations to mark June 21 as Yoga Day.

Consequently, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 21 as International Yoga Day to spread awareness about the importance of yoga 10 years ago.

The theme for the 10th International Yoga Day is “Yoga for Self and Society".

International Yoga Day aims to raise awareness about yoga and its health benefits and promote global wellness.
