Highlight of International Yoga Day will be held in downtown Budapest

If you’re passionate about yoga or just want to learn more about this ancient and complex practice, the Indian Embassy’s upcoming event is for you.

On 11 December 2014, the United Nations’ General Assembly proclaimed 21 June as the International Day of Yoga (IDY) with a unanimous vote of 177 supporting countries. Since then, IDY has become one of the world’s biggest events promoting health and well-being. Around the world, many programmes are held on this day to showcase the yoga tradition, which has been inscribed on UNESCO‘s World Heritage List.

The theme for this year’s celebrations is “Yoga for Humanity”. In this respect, the Embassy of India is planning several events in the cities of Hungary.
