3. As you all know, the International Day of Yoga is celebrated on June 21 every year. Yoga is a 5,000-year-old tradition from India. The word “yoga” is derived from the Sanskrit root Yuj meaning “to join”, “join” or “to unite”, symbolizing the unity of mind and body; thought and action; harmony between human beings and nature, and a holistic approach to health and well-being. On December 11 in 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 21st as the International Day of Yoga.
4. Nada yoga is a form of yoga which means "union through sound," is a yoga of sound. It is an ancient Indian system and science of inner transformation through sound vibration and tone. Nada yoga helps increase one's awareness of the chakras and energizes them.
