International Day of Yoga 2026:
As India celebrates the 12th International Day of Yoga (IDY) on 21st June 2026, the Ministry of Ayush’s Yoga Sangam Portal has achieved a significant milestone, with over 6 lakh organizations registering to participate in the nationwide yoga event and perform yoga simultaneously with the Prime Minister of India.
Key Highlights of IDY 2026:
- The theme for IDY 2026 is “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”. It focuses on promoting physical vitality, mental resilience, and holistic wellness across all stages of life.
- The 2026 theme aligns with the WHO Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030) by promoting independence among older adults, reducing fall-related risks, improving quality of life, and encouraging person-centered approaches to health and well-being.
- Yoga Sangam Initiative is a flagship initiative aiming to connect institutions and communities nationwide through synchronized yoga sessions based on the Common Yoga Protocol (CYP).
- Instead of a single-location celebration, organizations can conduct sessions at their own venues while remaining part of a collective national movement.
