He noticed that Yoga adapts itself according to the practitioner and social aspects. translating this knowledge and making it available to our current time is wisdom.
Our generation has different needs than the past generation. We are colorful, diverse, inclusive and accepting. Some of us notice that the world that we live in needs rest, silence and awareness. In order to heal ourselves, we need to heal our community, the environment and the society that we live in. Yoga is about that. The healing path is grounded on healing others.
