Many of us naively expected the human race to smoothly and quickly cultivate the earth into a new Eden. Optimists believed we were experiencing growing pains, but the cynical wondered if there really was a new age. Trying to pin them down, we asked whether the new age would blossom, wither, or remain the same. We think that you will be stimulated, challenged, and perhaps amused by these thought provoking respons. Some historical moments are more critical than others.
Transitional periods are such times.
We live in a culture and a world that are in transition. What transition actually means is transformation, for as old ways of being crumble, we, individually and as a species, must forge new meanings into life. Maturation comes when the spectrum of awareness broadens, becoming more inclusive. Yoga is an age-old process of transformation that can be creatively adapted to the needs of the times. It helps break through the habits of mind and body that bind us, opening up new ways of relating to each other and the world.
