The theme for the International Yoga Day 2021 is 'Yoga for well-being'. This theme has been conceived to stress on the importance of the role of yoga in the care and treatment given to Covid-19 patients during the quarantine period. The implication of the theme ‘Yoga for well-being’ is to promote the awareness regarding how the practice of Yoga can help maintain and promote the holistic health of the body, mind and spirit of every human. Due to the prevailing restrictions because of the pandemic, public performances and events are not possible to commemorate the Yoga Day. However, in the lines of the theme ‘Yoga for well-being’, you can arrange yoga sessions with your family. Some other activities you can plan for the day are watching yoga classes online, educating your Children about the importance of yoga, sharing your knowledge and experience about Yoga on social media platforms.
