Intro

Yoga is a science of life, practical psychology for expanding consciousness, individually and collectively. Yoga aims for a re-connection with our Divine nature and an unfolding of our highest potential as human beings. Yoga accelerates human evolution.

Sustainability is a growing priority of our new global community as more individuals awaken to the destructive and inhumane patterns of our institutional living structures. With frontiers of expansion met, our imperative shifts toward learning how to live in harmony rather than in animosity with our physical and social environments.

The following excerpts address points of intersection between Yoga Science and Sustainability. They are intended to inspire your imagination for ongoing thought, discussion and practical application.
