Hello to all yoga lovers and those who are considering whether to stretch their legs a bit or finally touch their toes!
Let's chat a bit about International Yoga Day and how this date is celebrated around the world.
International Yoga Day is celebrated every June 21st since 2015. Yes, it's that date that coincides with the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, when the sun shines brighter than ever and you can shine too, of course, if you decide to practice some yoga.
This date was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2014, thanks to an initiative by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.
Undoubtedly a great moment for the history of yoga!
Now that you know when and why it's celebrated, let's talk about what really matters. What makes International Yoga Day so special?
First of all, this day's main mission is for everyone to become aware of the benefits of yoga. And we're not just talking about stretches and elegant poses for Instagram. No, sir. Yoga goes beyond that. It offers benefits for physical, mental, and spiritual health. Does that sound appealing to you?
Imagine starting your day with a good yoga session. Not only will you improve your flexibility and strength, but it will also help you maintain balance. And if you've been feeling lately like life is pulling you in all directions, yoga is your perfect ally to reduce stress and anxiety. Goodbye, worries!
On this special day, in every corner of the planet, unique and fun activities are organized. We're talking about massive yoga sessions where you could practice alongside millions of people, workshops that teach you new tricks and techniques, and seminars that go beyond the physical and touch the essence of yoga.
The incredible thing is that these activities are for everyone, regardless of age or level of experience. So, if you're an experienced yogi or just know the "child's pose," you are welcome!

How about taking a moment for a little reflection?
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and imagine how your day would be if you included a couple of minutes of yoga in your routine. Perhaps less stress and more energy?
Since its first celebration in 2015, International Yoga Day has brought people from all over the world - whether in New York, Paris, Beijing, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, or New Delhi - together in homage to this ancient yet current practice. Yes, yoga is like that good book that never goes out of style.
So, what do you say? Are you up for celebrating the next June 21st by doing some yoga? You know, a stretch here, a deep breath there. Your body and mind will thank you!
And if you're already an expert, why not invite a friend to join? The practice of yoga is much more enjoyable in company.
Happy greetings and may yoga light up your day.
