The Yoga Day special event is presented by the Permanent Delegation of India to UNESCO, the Ministry of Ayush, and UNESCO. It will also feature an address from Audrey Azoulay, the Director-General of UNESCO.

Talking about the real essence of Yoga, Sadhguru says “If someone utters the word “Yoga,” people think of impossible physical postures. This is a very distorted idea of what Yoga is. Yoga is not about bending and twisting your body or holding your breath. Yoga is a technology. If you learn to use it, it works- no matter where you come from or what you believe in or do not believe in.”
