International Yoga Day was declared by the United Nations in resolution 69/ 13 1 on February 1 1. International Yoga Day aims to raise the world's awareness of the many benefits of yoga. The word yoga comes from Indian Sanskrit "yug" or "yuj", which means "consistency", "combination" or "harmony".

Yoga originated in ancient India and is one of the six philosophical schools in ancient India. It explores the truth and method of "the unity of Brahma and Me". What modern people call yoga is mainly a series of methods to cultivate one's self-cultivation.

Around 300 BC, patanjali, the founder of Mahayana Yoga in India, wrote the Yoga Sutra. On this basis, Indian yoga really took shape, and the practice of yoga was formally defined as a complete eight-branch system.
