Due to the pandemic most of the countries are following social distancing, this year the theme is set by United Nations as "Yoga for Health – Yoga at Home". The World Health Organization refer yoga as a means to improve health in its Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030: More active people for a healthier world.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the proposal first in his address during the opening of the 69th session of the General Assembly; he said: "Yoga is an invaluable gift from our ancient tradition. Yoga embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action, a holistic approach that is valuable to our health and our well-being. Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and nature."
