We are a community of people of different ages practicing Bhakti Yoga of the millennial Vedic culture. We maintain a holistic lifestyle, respect and harmony with the environment; In a spiritual and friendly atmosphere. We have several sustainable spaces where we produce part of the food we consume and we develop programs to protect nature and animals. We are also developing Eco-Constructions programs such as the largest Planetary Yoga in Latin America.
Our ideal is to share, with people of all ages and ideologies, these full, harmonious, sustainable and high spiritual values, showing a practical and successful alternative life to the current consumer system. In addition, we are part of an International Network of Eco Villages, with which we work for the same ideal. We have hatha yoga and meditation centres, vegetarian / vegan restaurants and eco villages in more than 25 countries in the world, two of them in India’s most prominent places.
