Singapore, June 21
Several yoga participants in Singapore and Myanmar on Saturday came together to mark the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY), a step towards healthier living.
In Singapore, people gathered at Gardens by the Bay to celebrate Yoga Day.
"Hundreds gathered under the iconic supertrees to embrace the power of breath, movement, and stillness -- a reminder that wellness begins from within. With this year's theme -- Yoga for One Earth, One Health -- we were reminded of the deep connection between personal well-being and the health of our planet," the High Commission of India in Singapore posted on X.
Dinesh Vasu Dash, Singapore's Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, attended the occasion as Guest of Honour.
In Myanmar, the Indian Consulate General in Mandalay celebrated the 11th IDY with approximately 700 Yoga enthusiasts from across the region.
Mandalay Chief Minister U Myo Aung also attended the occasion.
Now, in its 11th year, the Yoga Day has evolved into a global phenomenon. The day is observed across continents and cultures, and India continues to play a pivotal role in promoting mindfulness, discipline, and sustainable living through the practice of yoga.
The 2025 theme, 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health,' has emphasised the connection between personal well-being and planetary health, aligning with India's broader vision of global harmony through traditional wisdom.
