Empowered actions that lead to inner peace

As we witness the many crises confronting us, it's common to feel overwhelmed, hopeless, or even begin grieving what we are losing.

 

Many of us are also sensing a hopeful call to act in a way that supports and uplifts the whole, moving past the grief and fear.

Yoga Philosophy and yogic scriptures mentioned this time where the planet would endure great suffering. They also shared wisdoms that would alleviate the suffering through practical, spiritual practices.

 

Today with easier access to these teachings and to a community of others who feel similar, you too can embark on a journey of change.

 

By adopting an eco yoga lifestyle, taking action, and joining a community - you begin to mend your heart, feel a sense of belonging, and find purpose in your life.

 

Plus, you'll become an immune cell in the body of life, being a source of medicine and love our world so desperately needs.
