The International Yoga Day happens every June 21, and is celebrated annually across the world since the year 2015. Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that came from ancient India. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed the idea of having a specific day dedicated to yoga in an address to the United Nations back in 2014, and make it June 21st because it is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.
Some benefits of doing yoga include increased flexibility, increased muscle strength and core, improved respiration, energy and vitality, maintaining a balanced metabolism, weight reduction, cardio and circulatory health, improved athletic performance, and as a way to protect oneself from injuries.
