International Yoga Day to be celebrated on the 21 June

Yoga is the 5000 years old ancient practice of the union of the consciousness or soul of the individual being with the universal consciousness or soul. Yoga is the combination of mental and physical exercises along with breathing exercises. It includes meditation and physical exercises such as stretching, twisting of human bodies.

Yoga is not only the exercise, but it frees the mind from negative thoughts and beliefs. It also leads to people to know the ultimate truth behind the existence of the life.
