Celebrated worldwide on 21st June every year, International Day of Yoga aims to form a community where people resort to the practice of yoga, to eliminate all types of negativity from their lives.
The idea of Yoga Day was first proposed to United Nations way back in 2014 by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. Soon after the proposal, on December 11, 2014, UN declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.
So as the World is all geared up to celebrate Yoga Day this coming Friday, we bring to you a collection of inspiring quotes that will motivate you strike a pose:
