This year’s theme, “Yoga for One Earth, One Health,” emphasizes the deep connection between individual well-being and planetary health. Rooted in India’s timeless philosophy of “Sarve Santu Niramaya” (May all be free from disease), the theme aligns closely with global sustainability goals and public health initiatives.
Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman highlighted in her address that yoga is not merely a set of exercises but a way of life that aligns the body, mind, and environment. She noted that adopting a daily yoga practice promotes both personal wellness and ecological balance, vital in today’s interconnected world.
“As we focus on economic progress, it is equally important to nurture the health of our people and the planet. Yoga is our bridge to that balance,” she said.

The celebration saw active participation from officials of the Finance Ministry and the Corporate Affairs Ministry, who joined the Minister in performing the Common Yoga Protocol under the guidance of expert instructors.
The venue echoed with chants and the fluid movements of hundreds of participants, demonstrating not only discipline but also the growing integration of wellness in workplace culture across government bodies.
This marks a continued tradition of public leadership involvement in International Day of Yoga, reinforcing the government’s commitment to making yoga a people’s movement.
🌐 India’s Global Message of Wellness
The 11th edition of International Yoga Day holds significance as the world continues to navigate complex health and climate challenges. India’s leadership in promoting yoga on the global stage has made the day a key international observance, supported by the United Nations and celebrated in over 190 countries.
The “One Earth, One Health” philosophy underlines the need for holistic wellness approaches that respect both human and environmental well-being. The presence of senior economic policymakers at this event symbolized how wellness is not separate from governance, but an essential pillar of a resilient and inclusive economy.
