Int'l Day of Yoga
The International Yoga Day which fosters global awareness of yoga and its multifaceted benefits for physical and mental well-being, will be observed across the world on June 21. While yoga has now become quite popular and mainstream among foreigners and celebrities alike, the practice was once unheard of in the West until Indian yoga guru BKS Iyengar popularised it globally.
Often called the ''father of modern yoga'', Mr Iyengar was credited with spreading the practice of yoga to about 60 countries which he visited carrying the message from the East to the West.
