Celebrando el Día Internacional del Yoga

In the 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2014, Narendra Modi, prime minister of India, proposed that the world should annually celebrate an international day of yoga. He said, “Yoga is a holistic approach to health and well-being. Yoga is not only about exercise but about discovering a sense of oneness between ourselves, the world, and nature.” His proposal received broad support, thus establishing June 21st as the International Day of Yoga. Indian enlightened Master Patanjali divides the Yoga path into eight components: Yamas, Niyamas, Asanas, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana(meditation), Samadhi(oneness).
