Observed every year on June 5, World Environment Day serves as a global call to action for individuals and organizations to work toward preserving and protecting the natural world.

Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson, Aroma Magic, said: “Yoga is more than a practice of the body and mind—it serves as a powerful link to the natural world. On this World Environment Day, Harit Yoga reminds us of the intrinsic connection between our personal well-being and the health of our planet.”
