International Yoga Day_2020

Natarajasana

Lord of the Dance Pose or Dancer Pose is a standing, balancing, back-bending asana in modern yoga as exercise. It is derived from a pose in the classical Indian dance form Bharatnatyam, which is depicted in temple statues in the Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram.

The proposal to start Yoga Day was introduced by PM Modi in his address during the opening of the 69th session of the General Assembly in 2014.

However, this year, due to Social Distancing measures adopted by most countries, the theme set by the United Nations is “Yoga for Health – Yoga at Home”. The World Health Organization (WHO) mentions yoga as a means to improve health in its Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030: More active people for a healthier world.

“Yoga is an invaluable gift from our ancient tradition. Yoga embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action, a holistic approach that is valuable to our health and our well-being. Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and nature,” he had said.

Yoga promotes principles of peace, rights and well-being

Yoga promotes principles of peace,rights & well being that UN is working towards.Celebrating #InternationalYogaDay, we're sending message of unity&connection,one that is of substantial value at time of great challenges but also great opportunities for multilateralism

Yoga is something India is proud to pass on to the West (now world), and they have embraced it with all the vigor. Yoga poses and practices help to improve stamina, strength, flexibility and also mental well being.

Yoga is the perfect exercise to improve your physical and mental well being By focusing on mindfulness, breathing and the movements of your body, it can help you ‘switch off’, de-stress & unwind. #InternationalDayOfYoga2020

Today on International Yoga Day 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed the benefits of yoga and how this is helping the world in the fight against corona-virus pandemic. “Yoga is helping us in this fight against this pandemic. The pranayamas help us in building immunity and resolving respiratory illnesses.”

Stressing that Yoga doesn’t discriminate and instead helps in building immunity, PM Modi said, “Yoga enhances our quest for a healthier planet. It has emerged as a force for unity and deepens the bonds of humanity. It does not discriminate, it goes beyond race, color, gender, faith, and descent. The world is realizing the need of Yoga, even more, today due to the corona-virus pandemic. If our immunity is strong, then it helps in fighting against the disease. There are Yoga practices that boost our immunity and improve metabolism. Corona-virus attacks our respiratory system. ‘Pranayam’, a breathing exercise is something that helps us the most in making our respiratory system strong.”
Highlighting the importance of exercises, PM Modi requested citizens to make yoga a part of their regular life. “All of us are doing yoga at home with the family. International Day of Yoga gives a message of universal brotherhood. Yoga gives mental peace, helps in bringing positivity. If we can fine-tune our chords of health and hope, the day is not far away when world will witness the success of healthy and happy humanity. Yoga can definitely help us make this happen.”

International Yoga Day_2019

21st JUNE 2019_International Yoga Day

2019_IYD

It’s June, which means International Yoga Day is just around the corner! For many, this has become a wonderful annual tradition to honor yoga and the connection between people and nature.

International Day of Yoga is celebrated on June 21st,

It’s that time of year again, to refresh, renew and revitalize!

In September 2014, at the United Nations General Assembly, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi announced that he wanted to have a day of yoga to honor the connection between man and nature, health and well-being, and oneness with self.

As he stated, “For us in India, respect for nature is an integral part of spiritualism. We treat nature's bounties as sacred. Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. Yoga embodies unity of Mind & Body ; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change and in bettering our well-being. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day."

He also proposed celebrating this day on June 21st, which has significance in many parts of the world and is also known as the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day in the Southern Hemisphere.

The first International Yoga Day was on June 21, 2015 and it has been a growing event since then.

1. Practice yoga

This one’s an obvious idea, but I have to cover it.

Regardless of how much time you have, I challenge you to connect breath with movement on June 21st. Step onto your mat, onto the ground, or simply sit up taller in your office chair, and CONNECT.

Find that sweet spot where the exterior becomes fuzzy and the interior fires up…. you know that place I’m talking about, I know you do.

As a nation, as a community, as a group of collective consciousness, we can and will raise the vibration of this world with our breath and movement. Believe in the magic of yoga, it’s there, waiting to be tapped into!

2. Change your Facebook profile pic

I love this neat idea and hope you will too!

Just like people have changed their profile pics for the devastating attacks on Paris & Brussels or the celebration of same-sex marriage rights, the yoga community is offering up the same opportunity.

I Want to Support

Pretty awesome, right?

The idea behind the overlay is to spread the message of yoga, invite new people to the practice, and strengthen the current community.

Let’s hope the social media campaign catches on & spreads like wildfire. The more yogis, the better off this world is…

2. Invite a friend to yoga

Like I said above, the more the yogis in this world the better…

And the only way to increase/strengthen the community is to add to it. This is where us current yogis come into the equation.

I challenge you to invite a friend, co-worker, or anyone who’s not currently part of the yoga community to your yoga studio, an outdoor yoga class, or any type of yoga event. As we’ve all experienced, breaking into the yoga community is intimidating at first. And while we know there’s nothing to be intimated about, it’s a natural reaction to anything foreign (especially weird shapes and bendy people).

Over the four years I’ve been practicing, I’ve made it a point to consciously invite people to practice alongside me…. and not surprisingly, these same people are now committed yogis! So please, invite anyone and everyone, be there to soften the first-time jitters, and to experience the magic that will take place….

…. that magic being – connecting back to oneself, feeling the body again or for the first time ever, and creating shapes never imagined.

4. Give Back

This yoga to-do is my biggest focus…. yet for some reason, I rarely find myself doing it.

Giving back is a conundrum, we know we’re supposed to do it, the act of it genuinely makes us feel good, but when push comes to shove – we cherish our free time and use it on ourselves.

This summer is our time yogis, let’s give back to the community.

Below are a few ideas to inspire us:

· Lead a free yoga class in a public setting or start a local donation-based class.

· Donate your precious dollars and/or time to these amazing organizations –

· Donate your time to your local community, whatever movement or organization interests you, go do that!

5. Find an event near you

And lastly, if there’s an event celebrating International Yoga Day, for the love of yoga – go be part of it!

Grab a friend, family member, yoga studio member, or go by yourself and participate! As I’ve said numerous times now, the stronger our breath and movement is, the more we can help change this world through our yoga practice (which is insane, but so true).

If you live in India, the mecca of all yoga events takes place. And if you live in NYC, Times Square shuts down and hosts yoga classes all damn day

And if there’s no event taking place in your local community, take the initiative to start one!

Yogis and non-yogis, I hope these ideas help spark a fire within you to support the yoga movement,

especially on International Yoga Day!
