June 21 is International Day of Yoga. A large event to celebrate the practice of yoga is held annually by India’s de facto embassy in Taiwan, the India Taipei Association. This year the event was held at Taoyuan Sunlight Arena, with collaboration from Taoyuan City government. India’s de facto ambassador was on hand to speak about the significance of yoga, not only as a practice of spiritual and physical health, but also as a common point of interest for many Taiwanese and Indian people.

Traditional Indian music fills the air as a performer completes a sacred dance to open International Day of Yoga celebrations.

Participants close their eyes and then sit in the lotus position, following a teacher’s guidance. Every June, the India Taipei Association holds a large yoga gathering attracting lots of enthusiasts to celebrate the day.

I’ve been practicing yoga for 21 years. I used to get insomnia, but since I started yoga, the quality of my sleep improved a lot. I used to feel depressed and anxious but since I started yoga, my moods are much calmer.

Yoga is about uniting body, mind and spirit. In today’s society, especially, things are moving so quickly, and changing so intensely, so in an era like this, yoga is a great way to cultivate the body and mind.

June 21 is International Day of Yoga. It was first suggested to the U.N. by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and supported by 175 U.N. member states. Yoga is also listed by UNESCO as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.”

So I’m very happy to host this yoga event here, and I do understand a lot of Taiwanese people practice yoga. Most of the people want to become better. I see a lot of Taiwanese people trying their best to develop their personal growth, and I think that’s an endeavor that many Indian people also do. So I’m very happy to do this here so that Taiwanese people and Indian people can practice yoga together.

Yoga is not just another form of physical exercise. It’s an important part of Indian philosophy, and a practice of bringing together body and mind that many people find useful for their overall wellbeing. It’s also a bridge between Taiwan and Indian culture.
