UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon asked people across the world to celebrate the spirit of yoga regardless of ethnicity, faith, gender and sexual orientation.

On this International Day of Yoga, I urge everyone to embrace healthier choices and lifestyles and to commit to unity with our fellow human beings, regardless of ethnicity, faith, age, gender identity or sexual orientation. Let us celebrate this Day – and every day – as members of one human family sharing one common, precious home.
