🧘♀️ Stretch, Smile, and Breathe: It's International Day of Yoga!
Celebrating Balance, Flexibility, and Fun on June 21
Mark your calendars and roll out your mats — June 21 is the International Day of Yoga, and it’s the perfect excuse to strike a pose, find your zen, and maybe laugh a little while you’re at it.
Whether you're a seasoned yogi or someone who thinks "downward dog" is just what your pet does when he's sleepy, this day is all about enjoying the mind-body benefits of yoga — no pretzel-like flexibility required!
🧘 Why Do We Celebrate Yoga?
In 2014, the United Nations officially declared June 21 as International Day of Yoga — a day to recognize yoga’s global appeal and its power to promote well-being, peace, and inner harmony.
And yes, it’s on the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere — a perfect time to soak up some sun and stretch out under the sky. 🌞
😂 Yoga Is Serious…ly Fun
Let’s be honest — yoga is amazing for your health, but it can also be:
A source of unexpected giggles (hello, wobbly tree pose).
A chance to fall over gracefully — and get back up again.
A time to bond with friends, coworkers, or even your pet (goat yoga, anyone?).
So if you’ve ever felt intimidated by yoga, this is your sign: it’s supposed to be fun!

🧘♂️ Final Stretch: It’s About You

So this June 21, take a moment to stretch your limits, balance your energy, and breathe in the good vibes. Your mind and body will thank you — and your coworkers might even join in.
