The origin of yoga can be traced back to around 500BC. the word is mentioned in an ancient sacred text "Rig Veda".
Today i.e 21 June is celebrated as the international day of yoga. Although it has got significant attention from 2015 but Indians along with some people around the globe are practicing yoga from a long period of time. International day of Yoga is introduced to educate and spread awareness. Yoga should be practiced by each individual to maintain their physical and mental health. We live in a world which is full of chaos, pollution , noise . We lose our mental peace as we need to carry out different work assigned to us which is ofcourse important for our living. In such scenerio Yoga acts as a pain reliever to our body. We can call it a natural healer. Yoga increases the flexibility to the body and reduces the chances of cramps to the body.
