International Yoga Day - Everything You Need To Know About Yoga

Since 2015, June 21 has been celebrated as International Yoga Day, after it was declared by the United Nations General Assembly in a resolution in December 2014. "By declaring June 21 the International Day of Yoga, we recognized the holistic effects of this timeless practice and the conformity of its values with the fundamental values of the United Nations," said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the time. We take this opportunity to take a closer look at why yoga is an important part of our everyday life and why you should practice it too.

On June 21, 2016, we celebrate International Yoga Day, an ancient skill that took root in India, and got its own day in 2014. This year, the International Day of Yoga is celebrated for the second time, and the celebration is once again joined by Slovenia.
