Global Mental Health, Peace and Sustainability: Does Yoga Show the Way?

Shankar Das

Yoga can make an important contribution in achieving a healthy life and promoting well-being for all at a time when the world is striving to achieve sustainable development goals. Yoga underscores the unity of all things and of all people, a concept that is very close to the UN values of sustainability and peace. Yoga also promotes inner calm and it is highly necessary for us to better understand one another in the challenges we face. This year’s theme of ‘Yoga for Health’ directly links yoga practice to sustainable goal number three that focuses on ensuring healthy life and promoting wellbeing at all ages. Yoga connects our body with nature and leaves us with a better balance with the world around us. In the plethora of activities and challenges of the 21st century, we need precious moments of self-reflection to allow us as individuals to play a positive role in improving the world around us.
