Importance of International Yoga Day 2022

Yoga has been practiced in India since the 5th century. However, western countries have recently started practicing it. During the pandemic, yoga became an antidote for those suffering from viral diseases. It not only helps one in releasing and managing stress but also helps them have a stronger immune system and flexible body. Yoga keeps the mind and body balance intact.

Since there are countless benefits of practicing yoga, the International Day of Yoga is mainly celebrated to create awareness about the same. On International Yoga Day, people across the nation gather in groups to practice Yoga and celebrate the day in common grounds, community halls, schools, colleges, offices, and yoga centers. Our PM Mr. Narendr Modi will lead the main event of the International Day of Yoga at Mysore, Karnataka.

History of International Yoga Day 2022

Popular yoga guru Shri Shri Ravi Shankar conveyed the idea of a worldwide celebration of yoga on a particular day to PM Mr. Narendra Modi. Our PM then presented the idea to the UN committee along with how the day would be ideal to propagate the health benefits of yoga to the whole world.

Almost 175 nations in the UN committee including the USA, Canada, China, etc voted for the motion. The International Yoga Day resolution had the highest number of promoters. Thus, in 2014, the United Nations took the decision in favor of promoters, and 21st June was declared as the International Day of Yoga. The Ministry of AYUSH conducts this day and organizes a variety of activities to celebrate this day.
