New Delhi–The 8th edition of International Day of Yoga will be celebrated with the theme “Yoga for Humanity”. Ministry of Ayush has chosen this theme for the 8th International Day of Yoga 2022 to be organised in India and across the globe on 21st June 2022. The main event of the IDY 2022 demonstration will be held in Mysuru, Karnataka. The theme of last year’s IDY, organised during the COVID-19 pandemic was “Yoga for wellness”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the theme in his “Maan Ki Baat’ address. The theme for this year’s IDY has been selected after much deliberation/consultation and it appropriately portrays, how during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, yoga served the humanity in alleviating the suffering and in the emerging post-covid geo-political scenario too, it will bring people together through compassion, kindness, foster a sense of unity and build resilience among people world over.

Union Minister for Ayush, Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal said that our Hon’ble Prime Minister has suitably announced this year’s IDY theme as “Yoga for Humanity”. As we are aware Yoga is a practice that brings joy, health, and peace from within, and it deepens a sense of continuous connection between an individual’s inner consciousness and the external world. IDY 2022 will be successful in propagating this theme appropriately.

Focusing on Yoga for Humanity, special programmes have been designed this year for specially-abled people, the Transgender population, women and children. Human values that are an integral part of Yoga education in schools are also in focus. This year our villages/Gram Panchayats will also see huge participation as the Common Service Centres (CSCs) are promoting the practice and training of Common Yoga Protocol (CYP) and it is expected millions of villagers will participate in the IDY 2022.
