International Yoga Day - Get Ready!

Seems like yoga has been around in our lives for quite a while. Yet in 2016 the International Yoga Day will be celebrated only for the second time.



On 21st of June which is the longest day of the year yoga events will be organized all over the world with the major ones taking place in India. This day you have a great opportunity to practice yoga outdoors, to meet fellow yogis and to attend open classes organized by yoga studios in your area.
Planning a vacation during this days? Not a problem. It will be an INTERNATIONAL Yoga Day, so perhaps where you are staying, some yoga-related activities will be organized as well.


This year 21st June will be Tuesday. In some countries, Yoga Day will be celebrated 1-2 days earlier. For example, yoga classes on Times Square will be held all day on Monday, June 20th. Check your local news and get your yoga mat ready.
