International Yoga Day, celebrated on June 21st, promotes the practice of yoga for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being worldwide. This day emphasizes the importance of holistic health and the numerous benefits yoga brings to individuals and communities alike. The inception of this global observance can be traced back to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposal at the United Nations General Assembly in 2014, which received overwhelming support. A record 177 member states co-sponsored the resolution, demonstrating the universal appeal and relevance of yoga. Modi’s advocacy highlighted yoga’s comprehensive health benefits, resonating deeply with global leaders and citizens. Through concerted diplomatic efforts and widespread promotion, people from over 180 countries now join hands to celebrate and practice yoga on June 21st each year. This diverse gathering includes diplomats, artists, academicians, and entrepreneurs, all coming together from different walks of life.
This year, we at J Wellness Circle, Taj Fort Aguada Resort & Spa, Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa, and The Yellow House IHCL SeleQtions, are proud to celebrate International Yoga Day with the theme of “Women Empowerment.” Our celebration aims to honor and uplift women, recognizing their strength, resilience, and essential role in society. We believe that yoga, with its transformative power, can be a tool for empowerment, fostering confidence, and inner peace.
Among the various forms of yoga, we aim to channel our inner energy through Swara Yoga. Swara Yoga is an ancient yogic science that focuses on the study and control of breath, or “swara,” to harmonize the body’s energy channels. This practice emphasizes the significance of the nostrils and breath cycles in influencing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. By understanding and manipulating these breath patterns, practitioners can achieve balance, enhance vitality, and deepen their meditative practice. Swara Yoga offers a unique approach to wellness, connecting breath with consciousness and promoting a profound sense of harmony.
Our celebration includes a variety of activities designed to engage and inspire participants. One of our key initiatives on this day is visiting a local orphanage. We aim to provide yoga sessions to the youth there, explaining the essence and importance of yoga in daily life. This outreach not only introduces young minds to the benefits of yoga but also instills a sense of discipline and mindfulness. Our rich heritage and culture have introduced us to various Asanas, Pranayamas, Mudras, and Dhyan, which will be our key focus during these sessions. These elements of yoga offer a comprehensive approach to physical and mental well-being, teaching the youth valuable skills for managing stress and enhancing their overall quality of life.
In addition to our outreach activities, we invite everyone to join us at J Wellness Circle for a peaceful and mind-refreshing yoga session. Our serene setting at the Taj Fort Aguada Resort & Spa and Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa provides the perfect backdrop for a rejuvenating experience. Participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a variety of yoga practices, guided by experienced instructors who will tailor the sessions to meet the needs of both beginners and seasoned practitioners.
Our focus on Women Empowerment will be highlighted through special sessions designed to address the unique challenges faced by women. These sessions will include discussions on how yoga can support women’s health, reduce stress, and enhance mental clarity. We will also showcase inspiring stories of women who have used yoga to overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth.
International Yoga Day at J Wellness Circle promises to be a day of connection, learning, and transformation. By bringing together individuals from all walks of life, we hope to create a community that values and practices holistic wellness. Our celebration is not just about practicing yoga for a day but about inspiring lasting change and encouraging a commitment to regular practice.
Join us in celebrating International Yoga Day and experience the transformative power of yoga. Whether you are looking to enhance your physical health, find mental clarity, or connect with a supportive community, J Wellness Circle offers a welcoming space for all. Let’s come together to honor the ancient practice of yoga and its potential to empower and uplift us all.
