For example in my personal case, my yoga consciousness doesn’t necessarily mean that I am doing asanas, but it translates to maintaining societal hygiene, working towards reducing use of single-use plastics and a passion for trees and water.
If we can open our minds to the original 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 teaches us to care for our bodies and to make choices that are life enhancing over those that diminish quality of life.
Thus the yoga we practice at home (Hatha and Kriya), and in our lives in general (Karma, Bhakti, Jnana and Tantra), not only changes us as individuals, it impacts the wider world in which we live.
The practice of yoga generates new habits of thinking, and the fate of our world is dependent upon creativity, new initiatives for long-term survival.
