YOGA - International Yoga Day

International Yoga Day is celebrated on 21 June, the day of the summer solstice, officially established by the UN in 2014.

“Lo yoga significa unità di mente e corpo; pensiero e azione; dominio di sé e autorealizzazione; armonia tra uomo e natura; un approccio olistico tra salute e benessere”.  Cit. Premier indiano Narendra Modi

Yoga is not considered just a physical activity, but is recognized as a life discipline, it has excellent psychological and spiritual benefits: it contributes to the reduction of anxiety and stress, greater self-control and improvement of elasticity and physical strength. Since everyone can practice it because no special skills are required, everyone can practice physical exercise. Lack of physical exercise is one of the main causes of mortality, which is why the UN deemed it appropriate to dedicate an International Day to it.

21 June was chosen because it is the longest day of the year, the one with the most light, the day on which Shiva, the guru of the discipline, began to transmit it to his faithful students and disciples.

Yoga

It is a dynamic meditative practice that helps you discover and take care of your body, as well as being a spiritual quest if practiced consistently over time. There are no traces that it is linked to a specific Hindu tradition; it was mainly understood as a means of spiritual realization and salvation, therefore variously interpreted and regulated depending on the school of thought. This Sanskrit term is also used in Buddhist and Jain circles and over time, it has spread quite homogeneously across almost all continents.

What benefits does Yoga bring?

It brings many benefits, especially if practiced consistently. The salient ones are:

• Posture improvement
• Flexibility and elasticity in movements
• Muscle toning
