Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment or for any exploitative purpose.

To be politically activated is to dare to care about the happiness of others and that is just about the most important activity anyone can be involved in at this time, because it changes a person - it lifts them from normal self-centeredness to a state of other centeredness. That is a good thing because it expands our perception of self. This expansion of consciousness leads to enlightenment, which is the meaning of yoga.

Our breath is connected to the air that every being breathes. By breathing consciously, we acknowledge our communion with all of life.

Yoga teaches us that we can have whatever we may want in life if we are willing to provide it for others first.

If yogis are to come to the realization of the interconnectedness of life, then we must free ourselves from the conditioning that has caused us to think it is all right to exclude all the other animals from our own goals of peace, freedom, and happiness.

Through the deeply theraputic practice of asana, we begin to purify our karmas, thereby healing our past relationships with others and reestablishing a steady and joyful connection with the Earth, which means all beings.

Vegan food is not only good for you, the animals, and the planet, but cooking vegan can be simple, easy, and fun.
