About International Day of Yoga
The International Day of Yoga (IDY), proclaimed by the United Nations, highlights the universal appeal and holistic benefits of yoga in promoting physical health, mental well-being, and harmony between mind and body.
Observed every year on 21 June, this global initiative brings together communities worldwide to embrace a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. Yoga, as an ancient Indian tradition, continues to inspire collective participation in pursuit of wellness and harmony.
The 12th International Day of Yoga 2026 will further emphasize yoga's contribution to individual and societal well-being.
