Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. The word ‘yoga’ derives from Sanskrit and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and consciousness. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the International Day of Yoga by resolution.The International Day of Yoga aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga. The draft resolution establishing the International Day of Yoga was proposed by India and endorsed by a record 175 member states. The proposal was first introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address during the opening of the 69th session of the General Assembly, in which he said: “Yoga is an invaluable gift from our ancient tradition. Yoga embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action ... a holistic approach [that] is valuable to our health and our well-being. Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature.”The resolution notes “the importance of individuals and populations making healthier choices and following lifestyle patterns that foster good health.” In this regard, the World Health Organization has also urged its member states to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.For Contact and More informationMadhukar Ayachit, 732-331-6676 / Renu Khirwadkar: 732-516-8403 - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edison/international-day-of-yoga-2026/100001990053485546 - **Event Categories**: fitness, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Edison - **state**: NJ - **country**: United States - **location**: Roosevelt Park - **lat**: 40.5489003 - **long**: -74.3401403 - **full address**: Roosevelt Park, 151 Parsonage Road, Edison, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: International Day of Yoga 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/218a51897eed764a8e6b40404626f1c16845957c33d90f82c5fd78158549897d-rimg-w1200-h676-dc465e2e-gmir.jpg?v=1779462587 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is International Day of Yoga 2026 being held? - **A:** International Day of Yoga 2026 takes place on Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 am to Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 am at Roosevelt Park, 151 Parsonage Road, Edison, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing International Day of Yoga 2026? - **A:** International Day of Yoga 2026 is organized by Art of Living Piscataway Local. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "International Day of Yoga 2026", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/218a51897eed764a8e6b40404626f1c16845957c33d90f82c5fd78158549897d-rimg-w1200-h676-dc465e2e-gmir.jpg?v=1779462587", "startDate": "2026-06-21T07:30:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-06-21T09:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/edison/international-day-of-yoga-2026/100001990053485546", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Roosevelt Park", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "151 Parsonage Road", "postalCode": "08837", "addressLocality": "Edison", "addressRegion": "NJ", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.5489003", "longitude": "-74.3401403" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Yoga is more than just postures, stretches and a flexible, strong body\nCelebrate the International Day of Yoga with Sri Sri School of Yoga", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-05-21", "availabilityEnds": "2026-06-21T09:30:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-05-21", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/edison/international-day-of-yoga-2026/100001990053485546" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-05-21", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-05-21", "url": "https://allevents.in/edison/international-day-of-yoga-2026/100001990053485546", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Art of Living Piscataway Local", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/art-of-living-piscataway-local/23654706", "description": "Art of Living:Operating in 156 countries, The Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) is a non-profit, educational and humanitarian organization founded in 1981 by the world-renowned humanitarian and spiritual teacher Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
