Yoga diplomacy refers to the use of yoga as a tool to promote diplomacy, peace, and cultural exchange between nations or communities. It involves using the practice of yoga to build bridges and establish connections between people of different cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs.

Yoga diplomacy can take many forms, including yoga classes and workshops for diplomats, cultural exchanges that include yoga practice, and international yoga festivals that bring people from around the world together to share their love of yoga.

The concept of yoga diplomacy is based on the idea that the practice of yoga can help to reduce tension and conflict, promote physical and mental health, and foster a sense of community and connection among people. It is seen as a way to transcend cultural and political differences and promote mutual understanding and respect between nations.
