International Yoga Day and the Summer Solstice both fall on Sunday, June 21, 2026. International Yoga Day is celebrated around the world to highlight the many benefits of yoga. It’s no coincidence that it shares the date with the Summer Solstice – the longest day of the year.

History of International Yoga Day
International Yoga Day celebrates an ancient practice that began about 5,000 years ago in India, where yoga was used to connect the mind, body, and spirit. Over time, it became popular worldwide as a way to exercise, relax, and improve overall health. In 2014, the United Nations approved June 21 as International Yoga Day, and it was first officially celebrated in 2015 with thousands of people joining together in India. Since then, it has been observed by many around the world every year on June 21st.
