Yoga and Social responsibility – Alexandra Eichenauer-Knoll
Is practising yoga also a preparation for taking social responsibility?
The talk will present four assumptions about why Yoga is a good exercise for taking social responsibility and four possibilities, ways in which yoga teachers can support this process (creating a modern ethical practice field, understanding ethical principles, explaining the Social Connection Model of I. M. Young, sauca as a healing distance to avoid empathetic exhaustion).
