International Yoga Day, observed each year on June 21, was established by the United Nations in 2014 and first celebrated globally in 2015. The date was chosen to align with the summer solstice, a time long recognized in many traditions as a powerful turning point in the natural cycle. This day honors yoga not simply as physical exercise, but as a holistic path of unity — integrating body, mind, breath, and spirit. At Temple of Peace, we will meet for our regular Sunday program:

10-11:30 meditation for initiates

11:30 – discourse

12:30 – potluck style prasadam
