International Yoga Day

Per continuare il viaggio iniziato lo scorso anno con il nostro approfondimento dedicato alla

Giornata Internazionale dello Yoga

https://perfettamentechic.com/2025/06/21/giornata-internazionale-dello-yoga/

oggi … 21 giugno 2026, torna una delle ricorrenze più amate da chi cerca benessere, equilibrio e un pizzico di serenità nella frenesia quotidiana.

La Giornata Internazionale dello Yoga, istituita dalle Nazioni Unite nel 2014 e celebrata ogni anno nel giorno del solstizio d’estate, invita milioni di persone in tutto il mondo a stendere il tappetino e dedicare qualche minuto a corpo e mente. Anche nel 2026 il tema ufficiale è

Yoga for Healthy Ageing (“Yoga per un invecchiamento in salute”)

invito a riscoprire lo yoga come prezioso alleato per mantenersi attivi, flessibili e in forma a ogni età.

Dall’alba nei parchi cittadini alle lezioni gratuite sulle spiagge, passando per piazze, centri sportivi e iniziative online, anche in Italia non mancano eventi aperti a tutti: principianti, esperti e perfino chi pensa di essere “troppo rigido” per toccarsi le punte dei piedi! Del resto, lo yoga non è una gara di elasticità, ma un percorso personale fatto di respirazione, concentrazione e piccoli grandi progressi.

Se nel 2025 vi avevamo raccontato la storia e il significato di questa ricorrenza, nel 2026 il messaggio è ancora più attuale:

dedicare anche solo dieci minuti al giorno allo yoga può contribuire a ridurre lo stress, migliorare l’equilibrio e favorire il benessere psicofisico.

Perché, in fondo, il miglior esercizio è quello che ci fa stare bene… con un sorriso e senza fretta. Namasté! 🧘‍♀️🌿

Buona Giornata Internazionale dello Yoga!

Your yoga mat might be the reason workouts feel harder.

EVA vs Rubber vs NBR Foam — what actually works for UK homes?

👉 Fix your setup, fix your consistency: https://bit.ly/3QeEDxO

#YogaMat #HomeWorkoutUK #FitnessSetup #NBR #HomeFitness #NonSlipYogaMat

Most people think all yoga mats are the same.
They’re not.
One small mistake can make your workouts harder, uncomfortable, and inconsistent.
Here’s the real difference between EVA and rubber mats 👇

Most people don’t quit workouts because they’re lazy.

They quit because something small keeps working against them.

Fix your mat… and everything changes.

It was either in 1999 or 2000 that I first started practicing yoga. My first instructor (Ruth Meritt) told me I needed to get a yoga mat. I was pretty poor at the time because I only had a part time cashier job. But I bought the yoga mat. It was very expensive: around $60. When I questioned why I had to pay so much, Ruth told me that this yoga mat would last me years and years, but the other ones would fall apart.

She was right. My mat is at least 25 years old and is still in great condition. There are other mats in the house which aren't nearly as old, and they're not in nearly as good shape.

I haven't done any yoga at all this year so far. I miss it, but I worry about hurting my frozen shoulder during the various asanas, and I'm supposed to avoid stretching my Achilles tendons because of Achilles tendonopathy. Argh. I know there are workarounds, but I feel like I'd automatically go into positions that will make me yelp. #yoga #YogaMat #YogaTeacher
