June 21 was declared as the International Day of Yoga by
the United Nations General
Assembly on December 11, 2014.[1] Yoga,
a physical, mental and spiritual practice having
its origin over 6000 years ago in India aims
to integrate the body and the mind.[2]
The declaration of this day came after the call for the
adoption of 21 June as International Day of Yoga by Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi during his address to UN General Assembly on
September 27, 2014[3][4][5][6] wherein he stated:
"Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient
tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint
and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health
and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness
within yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and
creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change. Let us work
towards adopting an International Yoga Day."[7]
[8] In suggesting June 21, which is the Summer Solstice, as the International Day of
Yoga, Narendra Modi had said that the date is the longest day of the year in
the Northern Hemisphere and
has special significance in many parts of the world.[9]
From the perspective of yoga, the Summer Solstice marks
the transition to Dakshinayana. The
first full moon after Summer Solstice is known as Guru Poornima. According to Sadhguru Jaggi
Vasudev, in the yogic lore, the first transmission of yoga by Shiva,
the first Guru, is said to have begun on this day.[10] Dakshinayana is also
considered a time when there is natural support for those pursuing spiritual
practices.[11] Govind Gurbani Yog Guru / Vice
President of Rajasthan Swasthya Yog Parisad Jaipur India informed that on 21
June fifty thousand followers of Yoga will perform Yoga in Rajasthan.

Yog means ‘union’ or ‘connection’. In Sanskrit, the word ‘yog’ is used to signify any form of connection. Yog is both a state of connection and a body of techniques that allow us to connect to anything.
