Yoga emphasizes the values of mindfulness, moderation, discipline, and perseverance. When applied to communities and societies, yoga offers a path to sustainable living.
Yoga can be an important tool for humanity's collective pursuit of sustainable lifestyles in harmony with the planet. In this spirit, the theme for this year's Yoga Day celebration is "Human Yoga."
