International Yoga Day
Since last year, in December 2014, the United Nations (UN) has proclaimed June 21 as “International Yoga Day”. This proclamation came in the wake of the adoption of a measure proposed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who said that yoga allows people “to discover the meaning of unity with self, the world and nature”. The date proposed by India is an important day, being that of the summer solstice – a holiday that has a special significance in many cultures with millenary traditions.
