Over the past decade, International Yoga Day has become a global movement promoting yoga practice for health and well-being around the world , embraced by cultures and continents for its benefits to individuals and society.
Vietnam has been a key partner in spreading the benefits of yoga, expanding its practice and organizing large-scale International Yoga Day celebrations over the past 10 years. The widespread popularity of yoga in Vietnam has created a deep bond between the people of the two countries. Through its IDY celebrations, the Embassy of India in Vietnam promotes healthy lifestyles and spreads the message of peace and harmony – among people, within society and between people and nature.
