Unroll your mat this International Day of Yoga 2024: Yoga for Self and Society
Participants attending the yoga awareness session.
Unite your body, mind, and spirit this International Day of Yoga!
Celebrated annually on June 21st, this day serves as a global reminder of the profound impact yoga can have on our well-being.
This year's theme, "Yoga for Self and Society," beautifully encapsulates the practice's ability to cultivate inner peace while fostering a sense of connection with the world around us.
A Legacy of Wellness
The inaugural International Day of Yoga celebrations in 2015 were nothing short of historic. Held at Rajpath in New Delhi, the event led by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi set a remarkable standard. It even secured two Guinness World Records: one for the largest yoga session at a single venue and another for the most nationalities participating!
Yoga: A Journey Beyond the Physical
Yoga's roots trace back to ancient India, encompassing far more than just physical postures. The word itself originates from Sanskrit, meaning "to join or to unite," symbolising the harmonious connection between body and consciousness.
While the image of downward-facing dog (adho mukha svanasana) might come to mind first, yoga's true essence lies in its ability to cultivate mindfulness, empower us with powerful breathing techniques, and ultimately guide us towards inner peace.

A Step Towards Wellness: Start Your Yoga Journey Today
International Day of Yoga is the perfect opportunity to embark on your own wellness adventure. Our very own Chief Health Coach, Abigail Ajgarni, a certified yoga teacher from Bodhi School of Yoga, emphasises the importance of starting simple.
"Yoga for flexibility and relaxation is a fantastic first step," says Abigail.
So, this International Day of Yoga, why not unroll your mat, take a deep breath, and begin your journey towards a healthier, more mindful you!
