Yoga for Peace has the goal of offering tools for a more conscious life to as many people as possible. We believe that people with greater consciousness can, together, transform our world into a better place.
During August 15th to 21st of 2011, we have organized over 100 free activities throughout Brazil, in partnership with many Yoga teachers and studios. Check out the entire scheduled programming!
Our main activity is a meditation session on August 21, at Ibirapuera Park (São Paulo, Brazil).
