The 12th International Day of Yoga (IDY) will see grand celebrations across the United States at iconic locations, including the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Times Square in New York, and Navy Pier in Chicago. The Indian Embassy in Washington is organizing a major gathering at the Lincoln Memorial on June 19, following an outdoor yoga session at DuPont Circle to build momentum for the event. In New York, HR Nagendra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's yoga guru, will lead the Times Square event on June 21, preceded by a wellness retreat in Monticello. Chicago's Consulate is set to highlight yoga's spiritual significance at Navy Pier. This year's theme, 'Yoga for Healthy Ageing', underscores the practice's role in enhancing physical mobility and overall health. The tradition of IDY began when the United Nations General Assembly declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga in 2014, and it has since grown to attract millions of participants worldwide.
