We at Oxymed Hospital, Chennai feel that healing starts from within. This International Yoga Day 2025, let’s think not just about your physical fitness but your mental and emotional health as well! Its theme (“Reconnect Your Mind, Body & Soul”) is a reminder of the ways that yoga can help us bring balance to all the spheres of our personal well-being.
International Yoga Day is celebrated annually on June 21 and was established in 2014 after an initiative led by India. They chose it because it falls on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year and a sacred day in the practice of yoga. It also means that we are dealing with the age-old practice of living in harmony and is a world-wide way that commemorates healthier lifestyles and a holistic way of well-being through yoga.
At Oxymed, we want to bring attention to the preventive power that yoga has and urge people to practice this activity as it has proven benefits that conventional medicine fails to explain.
Yoga is more than mere physical poses. The term "yoga" originates from the Sanskrit root "yuj," or to join, representing a coming together of body, mind, and spirit. In a medical sense, yoga is an alternative therapy that complements physical rehabilitation, emotional strength, and overall well-being.
With the inclusion of asanas (postures), pranayama (breathwork), and dhyana (meditation), yoga benefits both the practitioners and patients in better managing stress, chronic disease, and even lifestyle disorders.
