About International Day of Yoga
On December 11, 2014, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution introduced by India, and co-sponsored by 177 out of the 193 Member States of the UN, to celebrate 21st June as the ‘International Day of Yoga’. The resolution had the highest number of co-sponsors ever for any UN General Assembly resolution of this nature, reflecting the universal appeal of Yoga.
The Government of India has since decided to celebrate annually, the International Day of Yoga, throughout the World.
