BWY launches Yoga in Action campaign to combat climate change
SHARE
Uniting communities in conservation efforts
Following the success of our ‘For the Love of Trees’ campaign last year, BWY (British Wheel of Yoga) is proud to announce its renewed commitment to the planet in collaboration with environmental charities across the UK. The campaign seeks to sow new life into our planet and preserve the natural world.
Last year’s campaign saw BWY volunteers come together to plant over 1,500 trees, as well as clearing the rubbish from our beaches and rivers. As part of our Yoga in Action: Environment campaign, it provides another opportunity for BWY members and the wider yoga community to get closer to nature and give something back.
BWY Chair, Di O’Reilly, the driving force behind this campaign and a passionate environmental activist says:
This campaign is the true essence of Karma yoga – selfless action to the Earth and a legacy that will keep on giving for generations to come. It is a great opportunity to come together with BWY members to embrace the great outdoors and sow the seeds of hope for our planet’s future.
