Isha Yoga Session in Support of Conscious Planet: Athens, Feb 19, 2022

$20.00

Join Us for a 2-hour Yoga Session in Support of the Conscious Planet Save Soil Movement – Launching in Europe This Spring

Conscious Planet is a Global Movement to initiate a conscious approach to soil and planet. The movement seeks to show governments of all nations that their citizens want a policy to revitalize soil and ecology.
Thousands of eminent intellectuals, scientists, celebrities, policy experts and spiritual leaders are uniting for this common goal, to restore the soil and rekindle humanity’s relationship with Mother Earth.
To activate and demonstrate the support of over 3 billion citizens, Sadhguru, the founder of Isha Foundation, and Isha Hatha Yoga practices, will be riding a motorcycle alone, over 30,000 kilometers across 24 nations. The rally will start in London on March 21st, go throughout Europe until May, and end in southern India.
This is a massive movement that needs each one of us to spread the word to implement government policy throughout the world to save our soil which is degrading at a very rapid rate!
