International Yoga Day: 40+ Best Quotes, Wishes, Messages And WhatsApp Status

International Day of Yoga is observed every year on June 21. This year the 10th edition will be observed. Recognising its universal appeal, in December 2014, the UN proclaimed June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.

The draft UNGA resolution establishing the International Day of Yoga was proposed by India and endorsed by a record 175 member states. The proposal was first introduced by Prime Minister Modi in his address during the opening of the 69th session of the UN General Assembly.

The International Day of Yoga aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practising yoga. This year, the theme for IYD is "Yoga for Self and Society."
