Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice originating in India. Although it is not known exactly when it arose, the truth is that evidence has already been found that could go back to this discipline until the 8th century BC.
Despite what many believe, yoga can not be considered as a sport, since it is not only responsible for shaping the figure and improving physical health. Yoga is a way of understanding life, oneself and their relationship with others. It is a way to connect the body and the mind.
The Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations has considered that the theme of the celebration in this 2017 is "Yoga for Health". Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the General Assembly that "yoga is an invaluable gift of our ancient tradition, yoga represents the unity of mind and body, thought and action, it is important to coordinate all these aspects. Holistic approach is valuable for our health and our well-being.Yoga is not just about exercises, it is a way to discover the sense of identity of oneself, the world and nature. "
The United Nations Organization takes advantage of this day to encourage citizens to practice sports and yoga, since sedentary lifestyle is one of the ten most frequent causes of death in the world. In addition, this discipline teaches you to eat healthy, to think positively and to love everything and everything around you.
