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.

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.
