Why is International Yoga Day celebrated on June 21?
Yoga Day is being celebrated on June 21 since 2015. The specific date was chosen since it is the longest day of the year and the sun is out at its most. The eighth edition is being organised on the theme of 'Yoga for Humanity'.
Celebrating Yoga Day started with the idea of raising awareness about the importance and positives of yoga and the impact it has on people's health.
