Celebrating International Yoga Day: A Journey to Wellness!

Written By Asili Wellness
 
 

“Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well-being. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day.”

- Indian PM Narendra Modi, at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)
