In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 21 as the International Yoga Day.

Yoga is an ancient practice which brings together physical, mental disciplines to achieve a peaceful body and mind. Yoga is a form of exercise that is performed through diet, breathing and physical posture.

The theme of 5th International Yoga Day 2019 is "Climate Action" - which focuses on the way how yoga can help people to survive in the changing environment.
