If you’re someone who loves yoga or even just wants to start, then 21st June 2025 is a date you should definitely mark. It’s the 11th anniversary of the International Day of Yoga (IDY) and this year, it’s going to be bigger and more meaningful than ever before.
Theme of International Yoga Day 2025
The theme this year is “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”. That means it’s not just about personal fitness or stress relief anymore — this year’s focus is also on how yoga can help us connect better with nature and live in harmony with the environment. Basically, the idea is that a healthy you means a healthy planet too.
Yoga Day Turns 11 – A Global Movement
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been over a decade since Yoga Day started. In these 11 years, millions of people in over 190 countries have taken part in Yoga Day events. Whether it’s New York’s Times Square or beaches in Australia, yoga has become a global symbol of India’s wellness culture and soft power.

Why Yoga Matters Today
Let’s be honest — life is stressful. But yoga gives us a simple and powerful way to deal with it. Whether you’re a student, job seeker, professional, or retired — even doing basic yoga can help you with mental peace, physical fitness, and emotional balance.
Especially after COVID, people have realized that staying healthy is not just about medicine — it’s also about lifestyle and inner strength, and yoga helps with that.
How You Can Be Part of Yoga Day 2025
No need to do anything complicated. Just roll out your yoga mat at home, join a local yoga event, or participate online. Many government bodies, schools, and organizations will host public sessions. Also, don’t forget to check if your city is one of the 1 lakh Yoga Sangam locations.
