The proposal was first introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address during the opening of the 69th session of the General Assembly. The first International Day of Yoga was observed on June 21, 2015. COVID 19 pandemic has been an unprecedented human tragedy. Beyond its immediate impact on physical health, the pandemic has also aggravated psychological suffering and mental health problems including depression and anxiety. People around the world embraced yoga to stay healthy and rejuvenated and to fight social isolation and depression during the pandemic. Yoga is also playing a significant role in the care and rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients. The essence of yoga is balance not just balance within the body or that between the mind and the body, but also balance in the human relationship with the world. Yoga emphasizes the values of mindfulness, moderation, discipline, and perseverance. When applied to communities and societies.

Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. The word 'yoga' derives from Sanskrit and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and consciousness. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the International Day of Yoga. The draft resolution establishing the International Day of Yoga was proposed by India and endorsed by a record 175 member states.

Thus the theme of the 8th International Yoga Day 2022 is 'Yoga for Humanity'. The theme has been selected after much deliberation and consultation and it appropriately portrays how yoga served humanity in alleviating suffering during the peak of the pandemic. The 8th edition of International Day of Yoga will see many new initiatives including an innovative program called "Guardian Ring" that will showcase the movement of the sun and people from different countries will participate in performing yoga along with the movement of the sun, beginning from the east and marching towards west. The main event of the IDY-2022 demonstration will be held at Mysuru, Karnataka led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As the nation is also celebrating the "Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav", 75 national-level iconic sites will be showcasing the mass yoga demonstration while respective states will organize similar programs at 75 important locations.

Yoga for Humanity is healing our own minds, bodies and spirits, while giving back to community. It is a call to action to all yogis', studio owners, teachers, gurus and students to use the healing benefits of yoga to empower, inspire and give back to others.
