The theme of International Yoga Day 2024
The theme of International Yoga Day 2024 is “Yoga for Self and Society” and this year marks the 10th International Day of Yoga, and it represents the harmony of mind and body, the balance between thought and action. Let’s take a brief look at the benefits of yoga as below.
Physical health benefits
The postures in yoga were made mindfully, focusing on relieving pain from different areas of the body, and research has shown that making yoga a regular practice helps in maintaining blood pressure.
Mental health benefits
Yoga can reduce anxiety issues, and the breath training included in yoga is very effective. Yoga has also proven to help individuals with depression, chronic anxiety, anger issues and improve the quality of sleep and life.
Significance of Yoga Day 2024
The word “yoga” comes from Sanskrit, meaning to join or unite, indicating the union of body and mental consciousness. There are various benefits of yoga for physical health, including enhanced flexibility, strength, and posture.
Yoga is a universal practice followed by people of all ages and abilities and a great way to connect with your body and mind to improve your overall well-being. Also, the combination of physical activity and meditation strengthens the immune system.
