Nepali yoga followers and enthusiasts perform various yoga asanas in Kathmandu, Nepal, on June 21, 2025, marking the 11th International Yoga Day. Celebrated globally on June 21 each year, the day aims to promote the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga. The United Nations General Assembly officially declares June 21 as International Yoga Day in 2014, following a proposal by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the 69th UN General Assembly. He emphasizes that yoga is a timeless practice essential for all. The proposal receives immediate and widespread support, with Nepal--under the leadership of then Prime Minister Sushil Koirala--being the first country to endorse it. It is later supported by the European Union and other permanent members of the United Nations. The resolution sets a global record, gaining the support of 177 countries within just 90 days. Since June 21, 2015, International Yoga Day is celebrated worldwide. However, in Nepal, Yoga Day is first observed on Magh 1, 2036 BS, coinciding with the occasion of Uttarayan, the period when the sun begins its northward journey--considered auspicious for yoga and meditation.
