Yoga makes you more sensitive to the world. Through this realization of shared energy and common life force, we learn to respect other living beings and understand that every animal has equal rights to live on this planet.
If we can open our minds to the originally intended purpose of yoga, in addition to the physical, emotional, and mental health that it brings to our lives, then there is hope for allowing this practice to encourage environmental sustainability. Yoga provides us with a set of guidelines and tools to help us deal with ourselves and with the world around us.
It provides a framework for managing our inner needs and desires, and when applied to communities and societies, can be a toolkit for sustainable living and global change. We believe in practically applying the principles of yoga on an individual level can lead to large-scale change in our relationship with our planet.
