"Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul creates the symphony of life," says B.K.S. Iyengar. Every year June 21st is celebrated as international yoga day, and yoga not only emphasizes on stretching the body parts but its a procedure of inhaling the future and exhaling the past. Yoga was practiced in India from ancient times but today it has spread worldwide. It is the most important means of meditation for the people in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
