International Day of Yoga was founded by the United Nations General Assembly in 2014 . This 5,000 year old practice is participated in, in just about every corner of the world as more and more people, health care professionals, athletes, the military, and business leaders have realized the myriad of benefits to our bodies, minds, and souls.

Tuesday June 21st was the International Day of Yoga and all across the world, those passionate about yoga celebrated in different ways.

I taught yoga in the early morning then did my own practice out on the deck.

I read this article about how Disney World (ALL of them in the world) celebrated the day and I thought it was amazing. It also reminded me of how far yoga has come from that weird thing weird people did to mainstream society! What could be better? If every single person practiced some kind of yoga, I think this world would be a very different place.

Here is the Disney article and below are pictures from how the world celebrated this day. Enjoy!
