India is set to witness its largest-ever collective yoga celebration as more than 50,000 organisations across the nation have registered to participate in Yoga Sangam 2025, marking the 11th International Day of Yoga on June 21. The unprecedented participation sets a new benchmark for collective wellness engagement in the country.
Rajasthan has emerged as the frontrunner in this nationwide movement, with an impressive 11,000-plus organisations registering for the morning yoga session scheduled from 6:30 AM to 7:45 AM. The state’s remarkable participation is followed by Telangana with over 7,000 registrations and Madhya Pradesh with close to 5,000 registrations.
‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health’ Theme Resonates Nationally
This year’s International Day of Yoga celebration adopts the theme ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health’, echoing a universal call for unity and wellness that has resonated across diverse sectors of Indian society. The theme reflects India’s commitment to promoting holistic health and well-being not just domestically but as a global vision.
Premier educational institutions including Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), and Central Universities have actively registered for the event, alongside numerous corporate houses and private organisations. This broad-based participation demonstrates the growing recognition of yoga’s role in promoting physical and mental wellness across professional and academic communities.
Ministry of Ayush Enhances Public Engagement
Building on the successful decentralised model implemented in previous editions, the Ministry of Ayush has enhanced public engagement through the dedicated Yoga Sangam portal at yoga.ayush.gov.in/yoga-sangam. The digital platform has streamlined the registration process and enabled organisations nationwide to coordinate their participation effectively.
The ministry expects over one lakh locations to host International Day of Yoga events this year, representing a significant expansion from previous celebrations. This distributed approach allows for maximum participation while maintaining the essence of collective practice that defines the global yoga movement.
Simple Registration Process Encourages Widespread Participation
Organisations and groups interested in joining Yoga Sangam 2025 can participate through a straightforward four-step process:
- Visit the official portal at https://yoga.ayush.gov.in/yoga-sangam
- Register their group or organisation on the platform
- Conduct a yoga session on June 21, 2025, between 6:30 AM and 7:45 AM
- Upload participation details post-event to receive an official Certificate of Appreciation from the Ministry of Ayush
The simplified registration mechanism has contributed to the remarkable response, with organisations from rural areas to metropolitan cities embracing the opportunity to be part of this national celebration.
Global Recognition of India’s Yoga Leadership
The International Day of Yoga, established by the United Nations in 2014 following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposal, has grown into a global phenomenon. This year’s celebrations in India serve as a testament to the country’s leadership in promoting yoga as a means of achieving physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
The record-breaking participation in Yoga Sangam 2025 underscores yoga’s growing acceptance across all sections of society, from educational institutions and corporate offices to community centres and public spaces. The Ministry of Ayush’s invitation for citizens, institutions, and communities to “move together, breathe together, and thrive together” reflects the inclusive spirit of this ancient practice.
As June 21 approaches, the ministry continues to encourage additional registrations, emphasising that the collective practice aims to create “a healthier, more harmonious world” through India’s timeless wisdom of yoga.
