International Yoga Day, celebrated every year by the United Nations, is also being celebrated on 21 June this year.
Due to the Covid transition, it will be organized virtually like last year's event. You can watch the live broadcast of the seventh International Yoga Day event on June 21, 2021, between 8:30 am and 10 am on UN Web TV of the United Nations.
The theme of the International Yoga Day event every year is Bindu, this time the United Nations has named it Yoga for Well Being. During the last two years of covid transition, it has been observed that yoga is keeping people strong not only physically but also mentally and psychologically so that they can cope better with covid related difficulties and depression.
The United Nations said in its statement, "There has been an increasing trend around the world to adopt yoga to stay healthy during the Covid epidemic and to fight social isolation and depression. Yoga can help people recover from Covid-19." It is playing an important role. It is reducing their fear and anxiety."
