Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed a Yoga Day or Yoga Divas during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on September 27, 2014. Indias draught resolution was then approved by a record 177 member states. On June 21, 2015, the world celebrated the first International Day of Yoga. Yoga is much more than a workout.
