Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. Yoga brings about peace in this modern, fast-paced life by combining the body, mind, spirit and soul.

The United Nations General Assembly, on December 11, 2014, adopted a unanimous resolution declaring June 21 as the International Day of Yoga. Since then, millions of people have participated in the celebrations of yoga every year worldwide.

This year, the Permanent Mission of India to the UN, in collaboration with the UN Secretariat, is organizing the 9th International Day of Yoga at the North Lawn Area of the UNHQ, under the theme “Yoga for Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam” [Yoga for ‘The World is One Family’].
