International Yoga Day was established by the United Nations on December 11, 2014, following a proposal by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He suggested the date of June 21—the summer solstice—because of its profound significance in both yogic tradition and the changing of seasons. This year marks the 12th International Day of Yoga with the theme “ Yoga for Healthy Ageing”, which emphasizes the importance of Yoga for all ages.
