In 2018, more than 1,200 people joined a yoga protocol performance at Hanoi’s Indoor Athletics Palace in response to International Day of Yoga.
More than 800 people will participate in the fifth International Day of Yoga in Hanoi, to be held across ten cities and provinces across Vietnam on June 22, said the Deputy Chief of Mission at the Indian Embassy in Vietnam Rajesh Uike at a press conference on June 17.
The event is organized by the Indian Embassy in coordination with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Hanoi People’s Committee, Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports and Bao Viet Life Corporation.
The International Day of Yoga in Vietnam with the theme “Yoga – Green for Life” will open with a one-hour mass performance of Yoga Protocol by Vietnamese Yoga lovers at the Quan Ngua Sports Complex, No. 30 Van Cao street, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi.

Yoga is a 5,000-year-old physical, mental and spiritual practice having its origin in India, which aims to transform both body and mind. On December 11, 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.
The declaration came after the call for the adoption of June 21 as International Day of Yoga by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to the UN General Assembly on September 27, 2014.
