Tweet By United Nations on International Yoga Day 2021:
If you witness the current time when the entire world is fighting with the Coronavirus, people have been into various sufferings.
Not only has the pandemic triggered the deaths of people due to the virus, but also people are suffering from tremendous mental and psychological issues. In such hard times, embracing Yoga can be a beneficial move for people to stay healthy even in isolation.
When it comes to rehabilitation and psycho-social care, practicing Yoga has a lot of importance. With families in quarantine and people in isolation, Yoga can become an invaluable way to promote wellbeing. Even WHO suggests practicing Yoga and includes it in the Global Action Plan for 2018-30.
With the entire world being highlighted with the importance and how it facilitates both mental and physical wellbeing, Yoga has become a holistic approach for the world. With the ability to rejuvenate your mind, it is now celebrated worldwide.
On International Yoga day, Indian Prime Minister takes this step forward to discover the oneness with yourself, nature and the world. He said that Yoga could become a great and natural source to acquire inner strength and eliminate negativity. He even mentioned how Yoga had got its position in medical science when it comes to healing.
To uphold the nation’s strength, not only Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but also politicians, celebrities, sports persons, and common people from all over the world performed Yoga. However, to maintain the prime regulation of not being a part of a gathering, the event was held virtually.
So, on this International Yoga Day, let us come forward and pledge to maintain physical and mental wellbeing by keeping Yoga a part of our lifestyle.
