The practice of yoga is something that has the power to heal your entire body.  It is the best medicine that any doctor can ever give you and that for any kind of disease that you are suffering from. 

Yoga day is celebrated every year on June 21, which came into being in the year 2015 with the genuine effort made by Shri Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India.

To promote this important day and to help people know the significance of this day, every school and college organizes for essay-writing competitions on Yoga Day. Students prepare for the best essay on their part and it also help in a way to spread awareness about the significance of including yoga in your everyday life. 

Yoga is more than just burning your calories and toning your muscles. It is a mind-body workout where you have strengthening and stretching poses along with deep breathing techniques to relax your mind and body. 

There are more than a hundred different forms of yoga. Some are fast paced and intense. Others are gentle and relaxing. Yoga is an invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic approach to health and well-being. 

The word ‘yoga’ literally means ‘union’. Through yoga you can explore profoundly the very mechanics of life.
