The Significance of International Yoga Day
International Yoga Day was officially recognized by the United Nations in 2014, following a proposal by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Celebrated on June 21st, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, this day highlights the benefits of practicing yoga, including stress relief, improved flexibility, and enhanced mental clarity.
The theme for International Yoga Day 2024 is "Yoga for Wellness," emphasizing the holistic health benefits of yoga. This theme resonates with our ethos at CNC Infotech, where we believe in nurturing both the mind and body to achieve optimal productivity and well-being.
