Coming June 21, 2018. Roll out your mats…it’s International Day of Yoga! Yes, it’s a official day, approved by the United Nations General Assembly and first celebrated in 2015. The word ‘yoga’ derives from Sanskrit and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and consciousness, so it’s very fitting that this year’s theme is ‘Yoga for Peace.’ Check your local listings for an event near you, like the one pictured above at Kits Beach in Vancouver.
