International Yoga Day 2025: Know the date, theme, history, and significance
International Yoga Day 2025 Date, Theme, History: Yoga is an ancient physical, mental, and spiritual practice with roots in India, with the word being derived from the Sanskrit word meaning to unite, symbolising the union of body and consciousness. Every year on June 21, International Yoga Day is commemorated to raise awareness about the multiple benefits of yoga and promote its holistic approach to health and well-being. This year marks the 11th anniversary on June 21, 2025, which falls on a Saturday, under the theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health' as designated by the United Nations. The theme highlights the connection between personal well-being and planetary health, aligning with the Indian ideal of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which holds that the world is one family. The idea behind International Yoga Day came in September 2014, when India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, introduced the notion during his address to the United Nations General Assembly. He highlighted the value of yoga as a comprehensive approach to health and well-being and proposed that June 21 be designated as International Yoga Day, which ultimately gained overwhelming support from UN member states, and the United Nations General Assembly declared June 21 International Yoga Day in December 2014. Practising yoga 🧘♀️brings balance, peace, and good health to our body and mind 💠Let's come together and actively participate in the 'Yog Sangam' event on June 21, International Day of Yoga, and create a new chapter in history#IDY2025 #YogSangam #YogaforOneEarthOneHealth… — PIB India (@PIB_India) June 2, 2025 The significance of International Yoga Day lies in its ability to unite individuals with diverse backgrounds, cultures, and countries to celebrate and practise yoga.

Uniting communities, Visakhapatnam gears up for IDY-2025
International Day of Yoga 2025, Visakhapatnam, Ministry of Ayush, Yoga for One Earth One Health, Yogandhra Initiative, Community Wellness Visakhapatnam: As June 21 is fast approaching, Visakhapatnam is poised to demonstrate how yoga can unite communities, enhance well-being, and showcase India's commitment towards 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health'. With India preparing to mark a decade of the International Day of Yoga (IDY), Visakhapatnam has been selected as the national host for its 11th edition. Senior officials from the Ministry of Ayush and Government of Andhra Pradesh conducted a comprehensive field visit and review meeting to assess preparations for the event. The review coincides with the growing momentum across the country, inspired by the Prime Minister's call to promote yoga at global level. Accompanied by key officials, including Monalisa Dash, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Ayush, District Collector M.N. Harendhira Prasad, and heads of various departments, the inspection was led by Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary of the Ministry of Ayush, and K. Vijayanand, Special Chief Secretary of the Government of Andhra Pradesh. Their joint visit to key sites, including RK Beach, Rushikonda Beach, Andhra University, and GITAM underscored the seriousness and scope of the mega event. These locations will host not only the main yoga demonstration but also various cultural, educational, and wellness activities in alignment with the Prime Minister's vision of yoga as a people-centric movement. During the review, officials engaged in detailed discussions on inter-departmental coordination, mobilisation strategies, security protocols, and cultural integration. Special emphasis was placed on infrastructure preparedness and public participation to ensure that every logistical element supports the national goal of making yoga a mass movement. The officials noted how different departments are collaborating, echoing the Prime Minister's vision that yoga should unite institutions and communities for collective well-being. The state government rolled out a month-long Yogandhra initiative that aims to encourage daily yoga practice among over two crore citizens in the state. This initiative includes mass awareness campaigns, yoga camps in schools and universities, and a plan to train 20 lakh certified yoga practitioners. With IDY events planned at one lakh locations across the state and 5 lakh participants are expected in Visakhapatnam alone, this initiative embodies the Prime Minister's appeal to make yoga inclusive, accessible, and transformative.
