Every June 21st marks International Yoga Day. An occasion dedicated to this timeless practice, which promotes holistic well-being by harmonizing body, mind and spirit. Originating in Indian traditions but now practiced globally. Yoga provides health, mindfulness and inner peace through its teachings.
International Yoga Day was established by the United Nations in 2014 to raise awareness about living a more balanced life. Held annually on June 21, it marks Summer Solstice. The longest day in Northern Hemisphere representing light, energy and renewal. What initially started out as an initiative to promote yoga’s benefits has grown into an annual cultural celebration with millions participating across parks, schools, offices and homes around the globe.
Yoga goes beyond physical postures; it’s an entire lifestyle choice. Yoga provides us with discipline, encourages mindfulness practices, and brings awareness of ourselves within. Yoga offers much-needed respite from today’s fast-paced society where stress and digital distractions abound; yoga gives us back calmness, simplicity and clarity.
At Preeti Silks, we believe this celebration of balance and well-being aligns perfectly with our philosophy of embracing Indian heritage while remaining contemporary. Yoga brings grace to movement while an exquisite saree exudes elegance upon presence. On this special day, we invite you to discover how tradition and wellness coexist not just on a yoga mat but in every aspect of dress, expression and life itself.
On this International Yoga Day, let us extend not only our bodies but also our appreciation of timeless traditions be it through mindful breathing or the flowing elegance of an exquisite handpicked saree. Whether attending a community yoga session or practicing alone in your personal space, do it all with Preeti Silks by your side for ultimate comfort, confidence and style.
Yoga Day Drapes: What to Look for in a Comfortable Saree
Yoga is all about comfort, fluidity and grace – when carefully chosen, a saree can reflect these elements beautifully. While traditionally seen as formal or occasion wear, the versatile garment can complement a yoga lifestyle when styled appropriately. On International Yoga Day it’s time to disprove any notion that sarees don’t play an integral part of this form of movement! Let’s investigate what makes a saree yoga friendly.
- Breathable Fabrics That Move with You
The key element in selecting yoga-friendly saree fabrics is lightweight, breathable materials like:
Cotton fabric is well known for its softness and breathability.
Linen yoga mats are lightweight and perfect for outdoor yoga sessions during hotter seasons.
Mulmul (muslin) fabric – gentle on skin, allows free airflow and allows free moisture drainage.
These fabrics provide insulation against overheating during stretching sessions while still allowing your skin to breathe – perfect for mindful movement. - Easy Draping and Minimal Fuss
Not all sarees require heavy pleating or stiff petticoats, for yoga-friendly styling, look for easy draping sarees that stay in place once draped, such as those featuring less pleats or pre-stitched pallus; simpler styles may help preserve mobility during yoga or meditation sessions while minimalism of embroidery or embellishments prevent unnecessary bulk and weight.
Belted styles or modern draping methods that keep the saree in place can add both ease and elegance. - Calming Colors for an Uplifted Appearance
Yoga is a practice of inner peace; your attire should reflect this serenity. Choose soothing earth tones, pastels or muted tones like:
Soft beige, dusty rose, leaf green, sky blue and off-white shades help promote an ideal meditative atmosphere and look fantastic in natural lighting – whether practicing yoga indoors or outside. - Comfortable Blouses for Movement
To maximize comfort when wearing your saree, pair it with stretchable or sleeveless blouses that provide full range of movement. Cotton lycra or soft knit tops can offer both support and flexibility; you could also try pairing your saree with an equally-fitted yoga crop top or bralette to give a modern touch.
