International Yoga Day for me is a reminder to work toward a better way with how we share this practice and how we help each other not only as a yoga community, but as a human community. We lead the experience of how we feel about ourselves. It’s our responsibility as Guides to take good care of ourselves so we can best serve. This is a special day to share the message that yoga is for everyone and we all deserve to feel better. By Tara Stiles, Founder of Strala Yoga
Free Intention Setting Meditation and Energize Yoga practice

Tara who is also author of “Clean Mind, Clean Body: A 28 Day Plan for Physical, Mental and Spiritual Self-Care.” is thrilled to celebrate a global community with diverse backgrounds “daily with Strala.” We love sharing yoga in a way that feels like you through our classes, guides and partner studios around the globe.

Try 108 Sun Salutations
Tamara Jefferies, MA, of Grow & Thrive Wellness who is an International Yoga Teacher has her own way of celebrating Yoga Day this year. She adds “As International Yoga Day aligns with Summer Solstice, I thought it would be fun to lead an Instagram Live yoga class of 108 Sun Salutations. It’s something I’ve done in the past with my yoga students, but I’ve never tried it online.”
According to her “It is incredible to feel the changes in the body as you move through the sequence; around 70 you may feel like you’re going to lose it, but by 90 you feel like you could fly. It’s fantastic!”
Online Festival for Company Staff
“For International Yoga Day, I will teach at an online festival for companies that want to increase the well-being of their employees at work.” according to Lucile Hernandez Rodriguez, a Registered Yoga Teacher with over 500 hours of training, she further adds “Yoga can be a valuable tool to keep you energized and promote good posture, especially after hours of sitting all day in front of your desk. And since yoga has been proven to have mental health benefits as well, employees can use the practice to relax their minds and get a boost of productivity. As a result, it helps lessen their everyday stress and, consequently, contributes to positive overall well-being.” If you have questions reach out https://www.lucilehr.com/.
Yoga is the journey of the self, to the self, through the self. Happy International Yoga Day!
