"global health is a long-term development objective that requires closer international cooperation through the exchange of best practices aimed at building better individual lifestyles devoid of excesses of all kinds," and "that yoga provides a holistic approach to health and well-being," ad that "wider dissemination of information about the benefits of practicing yoga would be beneficial for the health of the world population." Spread the word! International Day of Yoga is all about promoting the benefits of yoga, so get out there and spread the word! Use #InternationalDayofYoga on social media. Coincidentally, June 21st is also National Selfie Day, Practice! As the grandfather of modern yoga himself, Pattabhi Jois, said, "Yoga is 99% practice, 1% theory." So roll out your mat, whether at home or at your local studio, breathe, move, and try. Those elements of breath, movement, and focus combined will bring fresh energy to the body and calmness to your mind.

International Day of Yoga has only been around for three years - the proclamation was announced on December 11th, 2014 - but already the yoga community has created the day into a worldwide celebration of yoga! The proclamation to make June 21st the International Day of Yoga is much more than just another official memorandum. Such a proclamation by the UN is symbolic of the international community's recognition of the impact of yoga on its mission to solve today's greatest problems. Really, this proclamation underscores what we've known all along, that yoga is an important and worthy practice that helps to make the world a better place. Specifically, the UN noted "the importance of individuals and populations making healthier choices and following lifestyle patterns that foster good health". They went on to underscore the fact that "global health is a long-term development objective that requires closer international cooperation through the exchange of best practices aimed at building

Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras have four chapters. The first is about samadhi – how to attain a state of ‘uninterrupted self-awareness . . . peace and bliss.’ This is the attainment of yoga. The first chapter offers a number of approaches to directly realizing this goal. However, if the reader is unable to directly experience samadhi (also described as ‘enlightenment’), there is a second chapter that offers the yamas and niyamas as ‘counter-measures’ for overcoming ‘the elements that cause mental turmoil’ so as to turn ‘one’s attention towards enlightenment.’ Chapter 3 is about the nature of the mind, the causes of suffering, and freedom from desire (vairagya). The fourth chapter gives counsel on freeing the mind from false and imaginary notions of self and offers practices of meditation for doing so.

The yamas and niyamas are not, however, a complete system of ethics. They do not deal with larger questions such as ‘why should one be ethical?’ It is also apparent that many of them are not necessarily about ethics. One could make a case for why it is necessary for others that one should maintain purity and cleanliness, or practice contentment, but it is not obvious that anyone else is benefitted by those practices. This becomes even more apparent if we consider another two of Patañjali’s niyamas: self-study or spiritual self-education (svadhyaya), and devotion to the supreme being (ishvara pranidhanani). It is hard to make the case that these are ethical precepts without understanding their place in the broader system. For this reason it is helpful to see how the yamas and niyamas fit within the broader context of Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras.

The purpose of yoga is essentially ethical and practicing ethics can be understood as yoga. Yoga is primarily a practice aimed at 'samadhi'–uninterrupted self-awareness, contentedness and peace. Yoga is primarily a practice aimed at 'samadhi'–uninterrupted self-awareness, contentedness and peace. Although yoga-ethics is commonly taken as the 'yamas' and 'niyamas' (yoga rules such as non-violence, truthfulness etc) ethics in yoga is best understood as practices aimed at 'samadhi'. Yoga and ethics are intrinsic to one another. That is to say, the purpose of yoga is essentially ethical and practicing ethics can be understood as yoga. In this essay I will endeavor to give some substance to this claim. However, the most convincing substantiation for me has come through yoga practice.
