Also known as International Day of Yoga, World Yoga Day is celebrated annually on June 21, following its proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly in 2014. This day recognizes yoga’s universal appeal and its profound benefits for physical health, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual growth.
Why June 21?
This date marks the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere—a moment of great significance in many cultures and in yogic tradition, symbolizing light, energy, and new beginnings.
The festivities begin on Saturday, June 21,with a free, open-air yoga class in San Miguel de Allende’s historic main square, set against the backdrop of the city’s iconic pink neo-Gothic parish church. According to local legend, the square sits atop a bed of quartz believed to radiate positive energy, making it a powerful and symbolic setting to embrace the practice of yoga.
After the class, guests are invited to Hotel Matilda to continue their journey inward with a soul-nourishing session of sound healing, breathwork, meditation, and kirtan, led by celebrated artist and spiritual guide Alejandro Trejo. A recovery cost of $25 usd.
At Hotel Matilda, wellness is more than a service—it’s a philosophy. Rooted in the harmony of body, mind, and spirit, the hotel’s wellness experiences are curated to foster balance and renewal through cutting-edge therapies, ancestral healing practices, and immersive cultural experiences that reflect the soul of San Miguel de Allende.
The celebration continues on Sunday, June 22, with an exclusive Asana & Meditation session from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. at Hotel Matilda, led by the highly respected and deeply inspiring Laila Kuri. This intimate class invites participants to deepen their personal practice in a serene and artful setting. A recovery cost of $25 usd.
Hotel Matilda welcomes all who seek connection, restoration, and inspiration to be part of this transformative World Yoga Day celebration. Spaces are limited. Advance registration is recommended.
