From Inner Transformation to Outer Action: Exploring the Relation of Isha Yoga on Pro-Environmental Engagement
2024 - 2026
This project explores if inner transformation can serve as a foundation for sustainability by examining the influence of Isha Yoga practice on individuals’ pro-environmental engagement. In light of intensifying environmental crises and growing eco-anxiety, the study responds to the need for more holistic approaches that integrate inner dimensions of change, such as awareness, values, and connectedness. Using a mixed-methods design that combines quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews among Isha meditators, Save Soil practitioners (Save Soil is a volunteer-based global environmental initiative), and non-meditators in Europe, the research investigates links between yoga, connectedness to nature, global identity, and environmental action.
