Yoga is part of India’s intangible cultural heritage, which has emerged as a global brand and is now being practiced internationally, including Egypt. It offers a healthy lifestyle harmonizing body, mind and spirit and promotes a holistic approach towards health and well-being. Yoga is not only for health and well-being but also promotes peace and harmony as well as progress and brotherhood. With these broader objectives in mind, 21st June is celebrated as the International Day of Yoga after the adoption of the Resolution proposed by India and co-sponsored by 177 nations, including Egypt, at the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2014.
In this connection, the Embassy of India in Cairo, Egypt and the Maulana Azad Centre for Indian Culture are organizing the 8th International Day of Yoga at Al Azhar Park, Cairo on 21 June, 2022 at 7:30 a.m.
