Do the challenges of the modern world and the effects of the pandemic have you tied up in knots? Maybe an ancient practice can give you some relief.
For thousands of years, people have turned to yoga to feel more limber, release stress and rejuvenate their overall physical and mental health.
The International Day of Yoga -- which is on Tuesday, June 21 -- could be the day that jump-starts a healthy new habit.
The day has been designated by the United Nations, and this year's theme is "Yoga for humanity," with an emphasis on "promoting sustainable lifestyle in harmony with planet Earth."
The UN says on its website that the "essence of yoga is balance -- not just balance within the body or that between the mind and the body,
but also balance in the human relationship with the world. Yoga emphasizes the values of mindfulness, moderation, discipline and perseverance."
Originating in ancient India, yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice, the UN says.
