Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 21, 2026, as Yoga Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize June 21, 2026, as Yoga Day in New York State. It is a ceremonial resolution that does not change laws or allocate money, but rather serves to honor the practice of yoga and its benefits for public wellness. The text highlights yoga's history, its growing popularity, and its positive effects on physical and mental health before requesting the governor's proclamation. Once adopted, the resolution will be sent to the governor's office to fulfill the ceremonial designation.
