Yoga Surrounds the Earth with Healing

Thirty years ago, when yoga was weird, and aerobics was popular, I remember standing on a chair in the midst of my yoga class (we were the weirdoes!) to declare that one day yoga would be really popular because it is the vehicle that we need to heal planet earth.

And, that day has come. Yoga has been, and is, a major vehicle of transformation, opening peoples hearts and minds, so they walk this earth with a gentler and kinder step.

Our heart heals first and as tears of pain flow from our original wounds, and we rise up from the ashes to embrace a life of meaning, our minds are more caring and compassionate. This is why yoga is so important and has become so popular in our communities.

Yoga helps each of us to find our way to the place where we can take care of our piece of the earth.  Some make sure the animals are cared for, while others, like those in Yoga Outreach, offer yoga to those without access and still other individuals care about the plants, the animals, the oceans, the air and our place in the cosmos.

Yoga seeps into every corner of our world bringing with it the healing of our hearts and minds.  And then the life-affirming actions that arise out of our yoga practice reach out and into to the hearts and minds of our families, communities and into the world at large.
