The 8th edition of International Day of Yoga (IDY) will be celebrated with the theme "Yoga for Humanity". The Ministry of AYUSH has chosen this theme for the 8th International Day of Yoga 2022 to be organised in India and across the globe on June 21, 2022.
The main event of the IDY 2022 demonstration will be held at Mysuru, Karnataka. The theme of last year's IDY, organised during the COVID-19 pandemic was "Yoga for wellness".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the theme in his recent 'Maan Ki Baat' address. The theme for this year's IDY has been selected after much deliberation/consultation and it appropriately portrays, how during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, yoga served the humanity in alleviating the suffering and in the emerging post-COVID geo-political scenario too, it will bring people together through compassion, kindness, foster a sense of unity and build resilience among people world over.
