5 Ways To Take Part In International Day of Yoga in 2023
Yoga has been around for thousands of years and is practiced all over the world. International Day of Yoga is celebrated on June 21st and was first celebrated in 2015. Each year, International Day of Yoga is centered around a specific theme, and this year's focus is on the concept of humanity. The concept of humanity symbolises a deep connection between the practice of yoga and the well-being of all people across the globe and emphasises universal connection, social responsibility and inclusivity.
If you want to join in on the celebrations, here are five ways you can take part in International Day of Yoga 2023.
1. Try A New Yoga Style:
This year for International Day of Yoga you could try a multitude of different yoga styles to explore and experience to fit your preference and fitness level.
Hot Yoga is performed in a heated room and classes usually follow a sequence of postures designed to build strength, flexibility and balance. The heat helps promote sweating which is believed to help detoxify the body and improve circulation.
Hatha Yoga is a traditional form of yoga focusing on the practice of physical postures and breath control. Classes often include meditation and relaxation techniques making Hatha Yoga a great yoga style for beginners.
Restorative Yoga uses props such as blocks and involves gentle, supported postures that encourage deep relaxation, stress reduction and mental clarity.
These are just a few examples of the diverse range of yoga classes available today. International Day of Yoga presents the perfect opportunity to venture into a new yoga style and expand your practice.
