Reason to celebrate June 21 as Yoga Day
The reason why we celebrate June 21 as Yoga Day is because the year is classified as the longest day of the year and is also known as the summer solstice. The summer solstice, also known as the summer solstice or summer solstice, occurs when one of Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun.
The summer solstice triggers the official start of summer when the northern hemisphere tilts at the point in its orbit closest to the sun, causing the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year.
