International Yoga Day 2020: Yoga is an ancient practice that dates back its origin thousands of years ago in India. It has been scientifically proven that various yoga asanas help in the physical, mental, and spiritual development of a human being. In order to promote this healthy practice, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his 2014 address at the United Nations General Assembly, proposed the International Yoga Day. In the times when the world is fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to practice this art form to strengthen our immune system. Considering the importance of social distancing, PM Modi appealed to mark the sixth International Yoga Day by practising 'Yoga at Home, Yoga with Family.' The theme for International Yoga Day 2020 also remains 'Yoga for Health - Yoga at Home.'
