Yoga is one of the greatest gifts India has given to the world. There are not many fitness activities in the world that rejuvenate both your body and mind. Yoga understands the needs of your body and helps you align your mind with body. Yoga is based on the fact that mind controls everything. When we master the art of controlling the mind, we can control everything else in life.

When did International Yoga Day start gaining its importance?

To bring to the world the importance of Yoga, June 21 is commemorated as International Yoga day by the United Nations General Assembly. Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi announced to the world the multitude benefits Yoga has to offer by using the platform of United Nations General Assembly. Since June 2015, the day is declared and celebrated in India in a very ceremonial manner. There are many other parts of the world where Yoga has become a day to day chore after its recognition in the United Nations Assembly. People are practicing Yoga on a daily basis and have noticed the massive change in their lives.
