While all forms of exercise have physical and mental benefits, yoga stands out for its dual benefit of improving physical health and cultivating extraordinary mental strength. Among the many benefits of yoga, one that stands out is stress management.
In today’s society, people are prone to various diseases due to their hectic life with little time for health and high stress levels. In such a situation, simply dedicating 30 to 45 minutes to yoga can boost both physical and mental health. Realizing the importance of yoga, communities across the world are embracing it as an important practice.
International Yoga Day is recognized by the United Nations and is celebrated every year on June 21. This year marks the 10th anniversary of this global event, which aims to promote yoga for health, spiritual growth and fostering world peace.
