Thereafter, the united national declared 21<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0June as the international yoga day. The date 21st\u00a0June was selected as it is the summer peak or the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. The day already is of great importance in many countries. On this day, the sun moves from north to south. This transition period is a good time for meditation and yogic practices.
