Every year on June 21, millions worldwide roll out their yoga mats to celebrate the timeless practice that connects mind, body, and spirit. This year, International Yoga Day 2025 carries a powerful theme — “Yoga for One Earth, One Health” — reminding us that true wellness means caring for both ourselves and our planet.
Why we celebrate International Yoga Day?
The United Nations declared June 21 as International Yoga Day in 2014, following a proposal by India’s Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi. The date was chosen because it’s the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, symbolizing light, energy, and the triumph of good health.
Since its first celebration in 2015, International Yoga Day has grown into a global movement, with countries from every continent hosting events to spread awareness about the benefits of yoga.
