The idea of International Day of Yoga was first proposed by the current Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi during his speech at the UNGA, on 27 September 2014
He Stated
"Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well being. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day."
— Narendra Modi

Our Indian Mythology Says Lord Shiva was the Adiyogi and considers them as the father of yoga .. then some people believe that Patanjli was the father of modern yoga ... while some historians find many clues in the practices of Himalayan Shamans as still be seen in Tibet and Nepal. but if we actually see we don't need to know where yoga came from ... we just need to practice it ever morning for good health and better life ..
The first International Day of Yoga was observed all over the world on 21 June 2015. since then As Our Indian PM says yoga has become the biggest mass movement and it has shown the world the path from illness to wellness. "Instead of increasing suffering, Yoga heals,"
